Rare early photographs revealing the stunning architecture of Ancient Egypt including the Sphynx and the Pyramids to the public for the first time have emerged 170 years after they were taken

The stunning collection - comprising 59 black and white images of sights including the Abu Simbel statue of Rameses II (pictured) before it was moved - is among the first known volumes of travel photography

The Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu (pictured) was one of the images captured by Maxime Du Camp, the son of a wealthy French surgeon, between 1849 and 1851 - when camera technology was still in its infancy

The ruined Temple of Karnak in Thebes - Modern Luxor - was captured by Du Camp, who spent hours in the heat of the desert with his wooden Calotype camera and tripod, before using the jugs of chemicals he needed to bring the images to life

The set of prints - including this picture of the Upper Egypt Mosque of Ali Bey - were sold as collectables and have been passed down through generations of a South African family

The Mosque of Sultan Hassan, a Mamluk era mosque located near the Citadel in Cairo, is part of a set that offers an extraordinary glimpse into a time when the region was in only the earliest throes of industrialisation

The Temple of Isis (Egyptian sun god) at Philae, pictured in 1840, was later moved because of the construction of the Aswan Dam in the 20th century

Mosque of Bellal at Philae was pictured during the government-backed expedition, on which Du Camp and companion Gustave Flaubert had dangerous encounters with locals and took exotic drugs

Freize from the temple at Dendera in High Egypt is one of the scenes photographed by Du Camp, which made him an overnight celebrity on their release
