Légende

Fetes of the Viceroy of Egypt at Cairo: the dromedary-race, 1869. 'The Viceroy of Egypt celebrated the anniversary of his accession, on January 18, by a series of festivities [which we have] engraved from sketches taken by our Special Artist... Parts of the entertainments...consisted of the races, in which horses and other animals contended...the most characteristic race was one with dromedaries. It was a very long race; and the effect of the long robes of the Arabs who rode and the trappings of the animals flowing behind gave a picturesque appearance to the scene'. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
