From China he traveled to the Philippines, Java, Borneo, and Indochina, before beginning the long return voyage via Singapore, Ceylon, India, Aden, the Red Sea, and, finally, Egypt. While in Cairo in November 1845, Itier bought thirty new copper plates and boarded a cangia to sail up the Nile to Philae.Itiers daguerreotypes are often difficult to see, partly a result of inadequate polishing.
