Comment
In the 1860s, Félix Bonfils opened the first professional photo studio in the region around Beirut, Lebanon. In the following years he made his mark thanks to his precise view of antique sites, landscapes, and people, especially in the Middle East. Bonfils published his pictures in large-sized photo books.
