Légende

'A 'Ship of the Desert' passing tombs of by-gone Moslem rulers, Cairo, Egypt', 1905. 'We look along the northern end of a line of royal tombs which extends along the entire eastern side of the city except where interrupted by the citadel, which is now behind us. These beautiful sepulchres were erected from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries by the Bahri and Circassian Sultans, the Mamlukes who followed the age of Saladin. They are the product of the finest age of Saracen art.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
