'Citadel and Mohammed Ali Mosque beyond Bab-el-Wezir cemetery, Cairo, Egypt', 1905. 'The city ... did not originally include the citadel before us. In 1176 Saladin began masonry fortifications up yonder on the height now crowned by that tall mosque. He employed on the work hosts of European captives, whom he took from the ranks of the Crusaders.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
