When French civil engineer Félix Teynard traveled to Egypt in 1851 to photograph along the Nile River Valley, he did so with few photographic predecessors. Equipped with a large-format camera and a supply of paper for negatives, Teynard created the entirety of his photographic oeuvre in 1851 and 1852.
Despite these obstacles, Teynard produced a body of work distinguished by its modernity.

In 1851, while a civil engineer in Grenoble, France, a center of Egyptological research, Félix Teynard embarked on a journey to photograph architectural structures in Egypt. The resulting publication, Égypte et Nubie, sites et monuments les plus intéressantes pour l'étude de l'art et de l'histoire, included 160 salted-paper prints and accompanying text, published in thirty-two installments of five plates, beginning in 1853.
