Frank Dean collection of late 19th/early 20th century photographs of Egypt
The collection comprises about 50 photographic prints of Egyptian scenes in and around Cairo and Giza, acquired by British military engineer Frank Dean while in Egypt in 1913. Most of the prints include some handwritten commentary and observations by Frank Dean on the back, dated '1913' or 'May 1913'. The prints appear to have been produced commercially, and are stamped with the names of photographers including Jean Pascal Sébah (1872-1947), Paul Dittrich (1868-1939) and the Zangaki brothers (fl.1860-90). Some of the prints are numbered by Dean on the back, suggesting that they were arranged (or sent home) in sequence.

He was a founding member of its leadership and in charge of its 'Foreign Relations' Committee 1975-1986. He was later advisor to the President of Iraq from 2005 to 2014, Jalal Talabani, and since retiring from politics has continued to play an active role in the field of Kurdish studies.
