This French-language illustrated volume explores the pyramids of Giza through photographic images and the history of their visual representation. Focused on the Giza plateau, including the Great Pyramid, it presents the monuments not only as archaeological landmarks but also as subjects shaped by photographers, travelers, scholars, and exhibitions over time. Combining pictorial documentation with historical context, the book traces how photography has influenced public understanding of these ancient structures. Its approach is both visual and interpretive, drawing on photographic works that record the pyramids’ scale, setting, and changing cultural significance. The volume is suited to readers interested in Egyptian antiquity, architectural history, and the development of travel and documentary photography.
