Framed Print of Cairo from the Citadel, 1881. Creator: Unknown
Cairo from the Citadel, 1881. We present [an] Illustration of the city of Cairo, showing those aspects which belong to its old Mohammedan social and political history, rather than the modern additions in European style. El Kahirah, "The Victorious, " as the name signifies in Arabic, was founded by the conquering Arabs, a hundred years before the Norman Conquest of England...On the north and east sides of the old city, the ancient walls are yet standing, with the stately northern gateways, the Bab-el-Nasr and the Bab-el-Futuh, close to the Gemaliyeh, which is the quarter of native merchants. The view presented in our Engraving is taken from the Citadel, at the opposite or southern end of Cairo, looking towards the grand mosques, that of Sultan Hassan, which is the nearest, and those of El Muayyad, El Ghoriyeh, and others, in the main street extending to the north gates of the city. A distant view of the Pyramids of Ghizeh, which are on the other side of the Nile, is obtained, to the left hand, through the clear Egyptian atmosphere, by a spectator from the Citadel of Cairo'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
