John B. Greene
![John B. Greene](/build/images/book-catalog/no-avatar.png)
John B. Greene was a pioneering American-born photographer and archaeologist who is known for his early photographic documentation of archaeological sites in North Africa. In the mid-19th century, he produced some of the earliest photographs of Egypt and Algeria, combining his interest in archaeology with his skills in photography. Greene's work, which included photographs of ancient ruins and landscapes, contributed significantly to early archaeological studies. His photographs, such as those in "Photographs of the Monuments of Thebes" and "Photographic Studies of Algeria," are now regarded as important historical and artistic documents.

On the Pier. It was a gloomy evening. A small group of fishermen were standing—at the end of a rough wooden pier projecting out into the water and forming the southern side of the mouth of a small river. A thick mist, which drove in across the German Ocean, obscured the sky, and prevented any object being seen beyond a few hundred fathoms from the shore, on which the dark leaden-coloured waves broke...

Father and I “Argue the Point.” “Hullo, father!” I sang out, when we had got a little way out from the pontoon and opened the mouth of the harbour, noticing, as I looked over my shoulder to see how we were steering, a string of flags being run up aboard the old Saint Vincent. “They’re signalling away like mad this morning all over the shop! First, atop of the dockyard semaphore; and then...
