Lot of 22, comprised of 19 CDVs documenting the people, places, architecture, and sculpture of Italy, England, Egypt, and beyond. The group features seven Italian cartes de visite credited to studios in Rome, Venice, Florence, Pisa, and Naples, of which three are occupational studio views of gondoliers, "Pifferari" or shepherds who traveled to Rome to play music before images of the Virgin Mary, and a curious portrait of two well-dressed gents offering what looks to be money to an individual wearing a dark hood and robe; plus views of the Leaning Tower and Campo Santo in Pisa as well as the artwork of Naples. Three cabinet cards of sculptural figures are also included (two by Pach Bros., NY). Additional travel CDVs include: two outdoor views showing the Round Tower at Windsor Castle and Abbotsford in England (by G.W. Wilson, Aberdeen); the Great Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza (by Brogi, Florence) as well as a young Egyptian man posed with an instrument in a studio setting (by Leon, Alexandria). International performers and personalities are represented through portraits of the following: a "Whirling Dervish" (by E. Siebrecht); three traditional Asian dancers (by Fredricks & Co., NY); the Trieste Dance Company (by E. Lichtenstern); "Shere Ali Khan, Emir of Afghanistan with his son Prince Abdullah" posed with several Afghan soldiers, as identified on verso (by John Burke 1869). Shere Ali Khan was Emir of Afghanistan at the time of the outbreak of the Second Anglo-Afghan War in 1878; a bearded Russian man driving a horse-drawn cart (by Carrick, St. Petersburg); studio view of Dutchman seated in a small canoe with painted lettering "Razende Pier" (by Makkink, Utrecht); and two studio portraits of men in uniform or costume from Greece and England. Condition: Range in condition from very good to near excellent. Some include penciled or inked notes on verso.
