AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHER Frank G Carpenter made his name in teaching and writing about geography. He produced a series of early guidebooks/travel logs called Carpenter’s World Travels which documented journeys across Africa, South America, Europe and the Middle East.

The collection includes these atmospheric images captured by Carpenter during a trip to Egypt a century ago:
