This black-and-white photo shows ancient statues in Abydus. Francis Frith took it in the 1850s to 1870s. It’s a photograph, not a painting. Frith ran a huge photo printing business in England. His photos of old sites were popular in the 1850s and 1860s. Most photos with his stamp weren’t actually taken by him. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
