mammoth albumen print (380 x 490mm.), signed and dated in the negative "Frith 1858", mounted on card, presented in a modern mount, very slight surface wear

AN RARE EXAMPLE OF ONE OF FRITH'S MAMMOTH VIEWS OF THE PYRAMIDS, which were "THE BIGGEST, UNENLARGED PRINTS EVER PUBLISHED" (Gernsheim).

"Frith's magnificent photographs of the pyramids, in particular, are ground-breaking and became the works for which he is now best known" (Imagining Paradise).
