Re Nissan Perez, p. 11-14: Short essay by the later curator of photography at the Israel Museum on the use of three daguerreotypes taken by a little-known traveller and photographer named Aimé Rochas in Egypt, and used by Maxime DuCamp as calotype reproductions for pl. 1, 9, and 52 in his photographically illustrated book “Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie”, Paris 1852. According to Perez, one of these images includes the figure of DuCamp’s travel comrade, the later famous writer Gustave Flaubert.
