EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intimate bond between two remarkable individuals, Charles Lambert-Bey and Maxime Du Camp. The portrait, taken by a talented French photographer in the 19th century, showcases their deep affection for each other. Charles Lambert-Bey was not only a polytechnician but also an explorer who ventured into Egypt. His expeditions earned him the prestigious title of Bey in 1847. On the other hand, Maxime Du Camp was a renowned French writer and photographer with a passion for capturing moments through his lens. Their connection goes beyond mere friendship; it is evident that they were lovers who shared an extraordinary love story. This image beautifully portrays their homoerotic relationship, defying societal norms of that era. The photograph reveals Lambert-Bey and Du Camp embracing each other warmly while wearing traditional fez hats. Their gazes are filled with tenderness and adoration, reflecting the depth of their emotions. As avid travelers who explored Egypt together, this image symbolizes not only their physical journey but also their emotional voyage as gay men navigating a world that often rejected them. Preserved within the archives of Bibliotheque de l'Institut de France in Paris, this timeless piece serves as a testament to love's power to transcend boundaries and defy societal expectations. It reminds us that true love knows no limits or restrictions – it simply exists in its purest form.
