Cairo, from the east. Photographer: Frith, Francis
- Scope & Content:

Genre: Urban Topographical Photography

In front of the principal mosque stands one of those quaint prison-like houses that, in a housetop-view, here and there over-top their lesser neighbours, and, by their dismal ugliness, call to mind, first of all, the many crimes that may have been committed within them...'
