"This thesis focuses on the life and work of John Beasly Greene,
photographer, archaeologist and Egyptologist. I describe Greene's
early life, his training in photography with Gustave Le Gray in 1852,
his two trips to Egypt in 1853 - 1854 and 1855, his trip to Algeria in
1855 - 1856 and his death in November 1856. I also consider the
process and printing of his Egyptian negatives, their number and
current location, and whether his book 'Le Nil. Monuments -
Paysages, Explorations Photographiques Par J.B. Green' (sic)
was ever published. In my research I discovered that four
separate images of Algeria in the collection of the Museum of
Modern Art, New York constitute two panoramas."
