介绍（中）	格林是一位驻扎在巴黎的波士顿银行家的儿子，他在法国首都长大，采用了19世纪50年代初法国先驱摄影师的技术和美感。作为一名富裕的业余考古学家，他于1853-54年和1854-55年两次前往埃及，在那里拍摄了大量令人印象深刻的纪念碑、象形文字铭文和风景照片 1855年末，格林开始了另一次摄影和考古探险，这次是去阿尔及利亚切切尔的一个遗址。新年的某个时候，在访问切切尔的间隙，他从阿尔及尔向东旅行到君士坦丁市，创造了一系列引人注目的景观，这些景观构成了他的作品中比他相对说教的考古观点更具个人、艺术和表现力的方面。这幅大胆的几何构图，印刷丰富，保存精美，展示了Rhumel峡谷高耸的悬崖和瀑布，Théople Gautier称赞这里"风景如画"，让人想起Salvator Rosa的巴洛克绘画格林于1856年春或夏返回巴黎，不久再次启程前往埃及，希望温暖的气候会带来好处。他于年底前在那里去世，享年二十四岁。
介绍（英）	The son of a Boston banker stationed in Paris, Greene grew up in the French capital and adopted the techniques and aesthetic sensibilities of the pioneering French photographers of the early 1850s. A well-to-do amateur archaeologist, he made two trips to Egypt in 1853-54 and 1854-55 and there produced an impressive body of photographs of monuments, hieroglyphic inscriptions, and landscapes. In late 1855, Greene set out on another photographic and archaeological expedition, this time to a site in Cherchell, Algeria. Sometime in the new year, between visits to Cherchell, he traveled east from Algiers to the city of Constantine and created a series of striking landscapes that constitute a more personal, artistic, and expressive aspect of his oeuvre than his relatively didactic archaeological views. This boldly geometric composition, richly printed and exquisitely preserved, shows the towering cliffs and waterfalls of the Rhumel Gorge, a place that Théophile Gautier celebrated as "wildly picturesque" and reminiscent of the Baroque paintings of Salvator Rosa. Greene returned to Paris in spring or summer 1856 and soon departed once more for Egypt, hoping that the warmer climate would prove salutary. He died there before year's end at the age of twenty-four.
