The Austrian photographer Paul Dittrich established a studio in Ottoman Egypt in 1894, where he also worked as a court photographer. Jean Sébah, son of Pascal Sébah, entered into partnership with the Istanbul photographer Policarpe Joaillier in 1888 at the age of 16. This larger group of Egyptian views includes Luxor, the interior of the El-Azhar Mosque, and Karnak, among others.
