Title:

Le Kaire. Tombeaux de Sultans Mamelouks. [Mameluk Tombs, Cairo.] Photographer: Teynard, Félix

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

View looking towards two of the large domed Mameluk Tombs: 'Ces tombeaux, placés à l’ouest du Kaire, sont construits en pierres d’appareil, y compris le dôme; ce qui n’a pas empêché le badigeon rouge et blanc de décorer leur extérieur. Les surfaces régulières et teintées que l’on voit sur le sable, à droite, sont composées de combustible animal que les indigènes font sécher au soleil, et qu’ils arrangent en figures géométriques, pour rendre le vol plus facilement appréciable.' [These tombs, situated in the west of Cairo, are built of dressed stone, including the dome, although this has not prevented the application of the red and white distemper which decorates the exterior. The symmetrical tinted surfaces seen on the sand on the right are composed of animal waste which the local population dry in the sun and which they arrange in geometrical shapes so that any theft will be easily detected.]
