Brown’s Egypt: Photographs from a 1923 Tour

Upon graduating from Harvard in 1922, John Nicholas Brown embarked on an extensive “grand tour” of Europe and the Mediterranean. In early 1923, Brown and his party traveled down the Nile visiting famous archaeological sites and excavations in progress. This virtual wiki exhibition displays some of the photographs from John Nicholas Brown’s travel album and seeks the addition of commentary pertaining to these artifacts. Curated by Tracy Gierada ’08 A.M. in public humanities.
