Tombs near Osioot [Assiut.] Photographer: Douglas, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
'This curious scene is a Moslem Cemetery; where almost every Tomb is covered by a dome and surrounded by an enclosure, additions commonly made only to those of saints and personages of high rank.' A technically deficient photograph: the camera has moved during the exposure, resulting in a double image.
