Through his lens, he immortalized the untitled Roman sculptures at Cherchell Museum in 1856, allowing us to marvel at their timeless elegance. In Medinet Habu's Mortuary Temple of Ramses III, Greene skillfully captured the left wall's intricate details. His photograph transports us to ancient Egypt, where we can almost hear whispers from centuries past echoing through its stone corridors. One of Greene's most poignant works is "Tombeau de la chretienne. Vue du cotenord. " This image invites us to contemplate the story behind this Christian woman's tomb and pay homage to her memory. Greene took us on a journey through Algeria as well. In 1853-54, he documented antiquities housed in Cherchell Museum and showcased their historical significance for all to see. These photographs serve as a testament to Algeria's rich cultural heritage. The Island of Philae became an enchanting subject for Greene during his travels in 1853-54. His photographs capture the island's serene beauty and transport viewers into a realm where time stands still amidst ancient ruins. Tents dotting the Algerian landscape came alive under Greene's lens in 1856. These images evoke a sense of nomadic freedom and offer glimpses into daily life within these temporary dwellings. Dakkeh became another destination that captivated Greene during his expeditions in 1853-54. He expertly framed its architectural wonders against breathtaking desert vistas, showcasing both man-made splendor and nature’s grandeur side by side. The Bank of Rhumel near Constantine beckoned him with its picturesque charm around 1855-56. With each click of his camera shutter, he immortalized this tranquil spot along the river, inviting us to pause and appreciate nature's serene beauty.
