To know another human being in their essence, you don’t really need to know anything about them — their past, their history, their story.

Discription from the Photographer: "The sign
In the past, travel books were accompanied by images long before the invention of photography. These works — illustrated with a more fantastic than real view — enriched the imagination of readers who dreamed of Egypt as a mysterious land full of ancient monuments and populated by strange creatures. In the coming years, towards the mid-nineteenth century, the pictorial imagination of the East was replaced by the more scientific imagination of designers, architects and scribes whose masterpieces appear in many works, such as, the beautiful works that were published in the Description d’Égypte of the Napoleonic expedition or in the works of Lepsius and Rosellini. Here, the art, in the service of the study, gave a major contribution to the new-born science of Egyptology. However, some artists continued to capture the exotic nature of Egypt, passing it on to their audience. David Roberts was one of the most important artist of that period, spending two months and half in Egypt in 1838, drawing and painting the most important monuments and scenes of local life. The Belgian Louis Hague, an expert lithographer, prepared Roberts’ works for publication in the next eight years. His colourful and often romanticized works, accompanied by texts by famous writers of the time, such as Binon, Birch and Brockedon, have always been very popular among collectors. Other renowned artists visited Egypt, bringing back beautiful images: William Henry Bartlett, David Wilkie, Frederick Catherwood, Edwar Lear, Owen Jones, and with the Orientalism — through representatives such as Jean-Léon Gérôme, Eugène Delacroix, Étienne Dinet — The French transformed the representation of Egypt in a painting movement.

Description and image via Art Gallery of New South Wales:The 10th-century courtier Minamoto no Hiromasa (also known as Hakuga Sanmi) was a famous musician who excelled in the ‘biwa’ (short-necked lute), 'yokobue’ (horizontal flute) and 'hichiriki’ (flute played to the front). In this print he is playing the 'yokobue’ in a duet with an unidentified man whose heavy beard and unusual hat indicate that he is a foreigner, perhaps from central Asia. They are playing beneath the Suzaku Gate, the main gate to the area containing the imperial palace and government offices in Kyoto.
