- Sehr guter Erhaltungszustand.
Viele dieser frühen Bilddokumente zeigen antike Denkmäler in jenem Zustand wie sie die Jahrtausende überdauert haben, als Ruinen, von Sand verweht, fast unberührt. So sind die Fotografien aus der Hand des Franzosen Félix Bonfils mittlerweile selbst Dokumente von unschätzbarem kulturhistorischem Wert geworden.
