Légende

'Tomb Mosque of Sultan Kait Bey, Cairo, Egypt', 1905. 'Here before us rises the lovely tomb-mosque of Kait Bey, built in 1474, by the last of the really great Mamlukes who preceded the Turkish conquest. The powerful and sagacious Kait Bey inaugurated a veritable Augustan age for Cairo, and, brief as it was, the city was adorned with a host of magnificent buildings, which today form its chief architectural beauties.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
