° 21.2.1877; + 16.6.1947. Egyptologist. Visited Egypt for the first time in the winter of 1900-1901 and made photographs along the way, including at least two views of the Giza pyramid complex and a few of the Karnak temple complex. After being criticized for his less than perfect photographs, Capart responded in 1905: "I am but an amateur photographer". In spring 1909, Capart made his fourth trip to Egypt and returned with no less then 500 photographic plates. His 1912 publication, "Abydos: Le Temple de Séti 1er", is illustrated with 50 of his own photographs.
