Le Kaire. Mosquée Nacéryeh. [Nasseriya Mosque, Cairo] Photographer: Teynard, Félix
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view from the roadway, looking towards the mosque: 'Comme le mosquée d’Iscander-pacha, ce monument est decoré, à l’extérieur, de bandes paintes alternativement en rouge et en blanc. La partie la plus remarquable est le dôme recouvert de dessins et d’arabesques sculptés, probablement peints autrefois: ce dôme, suivant l’habitude la plus ordinaire du pays, est simplement de plâtre; et cependant cette construction légère a résisté, parce qu’au Kaire les pluies sont rares, de peu de durée, et que bientôt le soleil absorbe l’humidité infiltrée.' [Like the Mosque of Iskander Pasha, the exterior of this building is decorated with alternate bands painted in red and white. Its most remarkable feature is the dome, which is covered with carved designs and arabesques, probably originally painted: the dome, following the usual practice of the country, is simply of plaster; however, this flimsy construction has survived, because in Cairo rain is infrequent and short-lived and the sun soon dries any dampness that has been absorbed.]
