The first documented photograph taken on the African continent dates from November 7, 1839, merely three months after France introduced the daguerreotype camera to the world. The photo was taken in Alexandria by French painter Horace Vernet, along with his nephew Frédéric Goupil-Fesque, who captured the exterior of Muhammad Ali Pasha’s harem palace. Even though there was nothing erotic about the image, it created a sensation in Paris by igniting fantasies about what the French envisioned as a suggestive subject matter.
