"Album by Felix Bonfils" refers to a collection of photographs taken by Félix Bonfils, a French photographer and writer who was active in the Middle East in the late 19th century. Félix Bonfils (1831–1885) is renowned for his pioneering work in photographing the landscapes, people, and architectural sites of the Eastern Mediterranean region, contributing significantly to the field of early photography and orientalist imagery. His albums, comprising a vast array of images from countries such as Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Greece, and Turkey, played a crucial role in documenting and disseminating the visual culture of the Middle East to the Western world during a time of growing interest in orientalism.

The albums produced by Bonfils contain a rich variety of images, including panoramic views of cities, detailed architectural studies of ruins and monuments, portraits of local inhabitants, and scenes of everyday life. These photographs were not only significant for their aesthetic value but also served as important historical documents, offering insights into the cultural, social, and architectural landscapes of the region during the late 19th century. Bonfils' work is characterized by its meticulous composition, technical proficiency, and the ability to capture the essence of the subjects he photographed.

Félix Bonfils' albums were highly popular among European and American audiences, catering to the demand for exotic imagery and contributing to the romanticized perceptions of the East. They were sold individually or in series, often to tourists and visitors to the Middle East, as well as to scholars, collectors, and libraries interested in the region's history and culture. Today, Bonfils' photographs are considered valuable artifacts of historical and artistic significance, providing a window into the past and a testament to the early days of photography in the Middle East.

The legacy of Félix Bonfils and his photographic work continues to be celebrated for its contribution to the visual documentation of the Middle East and the development of photography as a form of artistic and historical expression. His albums are preserved in various collections and institutions around the world, serving as a source of inspiration and research for historians, artists, and photographers alike.
