At the beginning of the 20th century, Belgian Egyptologist Jean Capart and his colleagues undertook several trips to Egypt. With a keen eye for photography, they documented this land on the banks of the Nile in all its facets. The Egyptological Library of the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels houses this important collection of approximately 14,000 glass plate negatives. The more than 200 photographs gathered here illustrate these pioneering years of Belgian Egyptology. At the same time, they paint a kaleidoscopic picture of ancient Egypt in all its diversity, with its spectacular landscapes, ancient monuments, archaeological expeditions, and daily life.
