Biography:
Although born in France, John Beasley Greene was raised in the United States. He studied to become an archaeologist and based his practice out of Paris. Greene studied photography under Gustave Le Gray and helped found the Societe Francaise de photographie. He was the first archaeologist to use photography to document his work. In 1853, Green traveled across Egypt and Nubia. When he returned to France, Louis Desire Blanquart-Evrard published a book of ninety-four of his photographs from the journey. In 1855, photographs from Greene’s second visit to Medinet-Habu in Upper Egypt were published. He died a year later in Egypt, possibly from tuberculosis.
