The Near East in 1862: Francis Bedford’s Photographs from Cairo to Constantinople: Calendar 2015

This medium-format wall calendar boasts twelve beautiful and timeless images of iconic scenes around Egypt, the Holy Land, and Turkey, by one of the earliest professional photographers to visit the region. Francis Bedford was the officially appointed photographer who accompanied the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) on his royal tour of the Near East in 1862. The photographs he took on the journey are celebrated as some of the finest products of the new art form of the nineteenth century. The calendar is practically designed with plenty of space to write in special events and daily appointments throughout the year.
