Summary

Description

العربية: تظهر هذه الصورة التي التقطتها شركة ميزون بونفيس مدينة بيروت، لبنان، في وقت ما في الثلث الأخير من القرن التاسع عشر. كانت ميزون بونفيس المغامرة المثمرة بشكل استثنائي للمصور الفرنسي فيلكس بونفيس (١٨٣١-٨٥) وزوجته ماري لايدي كابانس بونفيس (١٨٣٧-١٩١٨) وابنهما أدريان بونفيس (١٨٦١-١٩٢٨). في عام ١٨٦٧ انتقلت عائلة بونفيس إلى بيروت، وعلى مدى العقود الخمسة القادمة، أنتجت شركتهم إحدى أهم مجموعات للصور الفوتوغرافية في العالم عن الشرق الأوسط. وكان محل بونفيس معروفا للصور الفوتوغرافية للمناظر الطبيعية والبانورامات ومشاهد من التوراة والصور "الإثنوغرافية" الوضعية. وقد ساعدت فطنة الأسرة التسويقية ووعيها التجاري في جعل صورها معروفة في جميع أنحاء العالم. تستخدم الصور "البانورامية" تقنيات متعددة كي تخلق زاوية رؤية واسعة. تتكون هذه الرؤية البانورامية من أربع صور فوتوغرافية جوية وُصلت معا كي تقدمن صورة أكبر مما يمكن الحصول عليه من صورة مفردة.

English: This image by the firm of Maison Bonfils depicts the city of Beirut, Lebanon, sometime in the last third of the 19th century. Maison Bonfils was the extraordinarily prolific venture of the French photographer Félix Bonfils (1831–85), his wife Marie-Lydie Cabanis Bonfils (1837–1918), and their son, Adrien Bonfils (1861–1928). The Bonfils moved to Beirut in 1867 and, over the next five decades, their firm produced one of the world's most important bodies of photographic work about the Middle East. Maison Bonfils was known for landscape photographs, panoramas, biblical scenes, and posed “ethnographic” portraits. The family’s marketing acumen and commercial sense helped make their photographs known around the world. “Panoramic” photographs employ a variety of techniques to create a wide angle of view. This “panoramic view” is comprised of four aerial photographs set together to give the viewer a broader image than would have been practical with a single photograph.

Français : Vue panoramique sur la ville de Beyrouth, au Liban, réalisée dans le dernier tiers du XIX^e siècle, par un membre de la Maison Bonfils, une prolifique et prospère compagnie de photographie. Cette image a été obtenue en assemblant manuelement quatre clichés indépendants. La Maison Bonfils a été fondée et dirigée par le photographe français Félix Bonfils (1831–85), sa femme Marie-Lydie Cabanis Bonfils (1837–1918), et leur fils , Adrien Bonfils (1861–1928). Elle est célèbre pour ses photos de paysages, de scènes bibliques et de portraits "ethnographiques", qui constituent l'une des plus importantes collections de photos anciennes du moyen-orient.
