From the House of St Veronica in Jerusalem, Palestine (Israel), to the majestic Damascus Gate in the Holy Land, Bonfils' photographs offer glimpses into a bygone era. Promenade des Pins in Beirut takes us back to the 1870s, where we can almost feel the sea breeze and hear echoes of laughter from long ago. Meanwhile, Cous du Kadisha reveals Monte Libon's rugged beauty during the 1860s-80s. Venturing further into Jerusalem, Interieur de la Porte de Jaffa immerses us within its ancient walls. The bustling Rue du Caire captures Cairo's vibrant energy during that same period while Sais coureurs au Caire showcases swift runners against a backdrop steeped in history. It also invites us to marvel at architectural wonders like The Temple of the Sun at Baalbec. Through his lens, we witness its grandeur and imagine ourselves standing amidst its awe-inspiring presence. But it is not only landscapes and monuments that captivate Bonfils; he also introduces us to people from different cultures. In Femme turque en toilette de ville, we catch a glimpse of Turkish fashion from the 1870s while Le Caire - Interieur de la mosquee El Bordei offers an intimate view inside one of Cairo's mosques. Les ponts du fleuve du chien transports us across bridges spanning unknown waters around 1880. Finally, [The Roman Forum] allows us to wander through time as we explore this iconic site frozen in moments captured by Bonfils' camera during the 1870s. Through these captivating images preserved over time, Felix Bonfils grants us access to a world that once was.
