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 the people, especially in the Middle East. He published his pictures in large-sized photo books.
