Frédéric Goupil-Fesquet (French: Frédéric Goupil-Fesquet; 1817 – 1878) French painter and photographer, the first to photograph Jerusalem as part of a trip he made from France in 1839.[1][2][3]
His journey to Jerusalem edit

In October 1839, Frédéric Fesquet sailed from the port of Marseille to Alexandria in Egypt on a photographic expedition. A few months earlier, on August 19, 1839, Daguerre published the daguerreotype method of photography. Fesquet's journey was Innovative since he carried photographic equipment with him, studied briefly the fundamentals of photography and took pictures in some places that were not photographed before. He went on a journey with a large format camera, a tripod, and many boxes. In the boxes were stored: photographic metal plates, and many chemicals that served him on a journey of several months[4][5].
Until the development of photography, people read about famous sites in the world and had to be content with written descriptions or illustrations and drawings of the sites. The development of photography enabled the distribution of photographs of the sites. Those photographs were a revolution for the general public, who were unable to visit the famous sites in those days. (Only a small percentage of the population was able to travel to foreign countries at that time).
As part of this passion for photographs for famous sites, Noël Paymal Lerebours, [6] a French painter and photographer, turned to producing photo stories. He is the one who provided Fesque with the camera he used during that journey[7]. The cameras that were used during this period were large-format cameras. ("5x7 in this case).
On the trip, Fesque accompanied his uncle the French painter Horace Vernet [8][9][10] who was his painting teacher,[11] and also tried his hand at photography. Some of the sources indicate that the cousin Charles Marie Bouton also joined and other sources indicate that Pierre-Gustave Joly de Lotbinière participated in part of the journey.[12]
The voyage ended in Alexandria, Egypt, from where the delegation continued to Cairo and farther south to take photographs at the Pyramids and various other sites.
From Cairo, the delegation traveled by land to Jerusalem, where they stayed from December 11 to 14, 1839.[1] During these days, Fesque photographed Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, including the Temple Mount, the city walls, and its surroundings.[13][14] From Jerusalem the expedition continued to Acre, where Fesque photographed the old city on its rooftops, the people staying there, and the Crusader fortress in the background. Finally, he photographed the city of Nazareth and its surroundings. From Nazareth, the delegation continued to Damascus, Turkey, and returned to Paris at the beginning of 1840.
Upon his return from the trip, Fesque did not publish any more photographs and focused on painting. There is no evidence since of any use of a camera by him.
His work edit
Fesque was known as a painter, and his short activity as a photographer, while he was very young with no experience derived few photographs that were popular at that time due to the demand for pictures of famous sites. his work was displayed in the Le Salon de Paris[2].
