Le Kaire. Mosquée du Sultan Haçan (le tombeau). [Sultan Hasan Mosque, Cairo (the Tomb)] Photographer: Teynard, Félix
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view of the domed tomb, with minarets behind on either side: 'Le tombeau du sultan Haçan se trouve sous le dôme. La construction de cet édifice est beaucoup plus soigné que celle des autres mosques, et, dans l’intérieur de la ville, c’est la seule où la décoration extérieure soit le résultat de la taille des matériaux, sans adjonction de peinture; ses assises régulières, sa corniche très important, sont de Pierre. Érigé en l’an 1347 après J.-C., cet édifice est remarquable, non-seulement par les soins qui ont présidé à sa construction et à sa décoration, mais encore par ses dimensions considérables. Sa plus grande longeur est de 150 mètres, et la hauteur de son grand minaret d’environ 80. Sur la droite, la planche No.2 représente dans le fond la porte d’entrée principale de cette mosquée.' [Sultan Husan’s tomb is situated beneath the dome. This building is much more carefully constructed than the other mosques, and is the only one in the centre of the city in which the exterior decoration is the result of the materials used, without the addition of painting; its regular courses and the very prominent cornice are of stone. Erected in 1347 A.D., this is a remarkable building, not only for the care lavished on its construction and decoration, but also for its considerable size. Its full length is 150 metres and the height of the great minaret about 80. On the right is the main entrance to the mosque, seen in the background of plate 2.]
