Cairo, from the Citadel, with the Mosque of Sultan Hasan. Photographer: Frith, Francis
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View looking down onto the square, with the Mosque of Sultan Hassan beyond: 'The principal object is the great Mosque of Sultan Hasan. Between this and the buildings in the foreground, upon the roofs and numerous ventilators of which we look down, is the extensive open space called 'The Rumeyleh,' in which a kind of market is being held. Along the front of the Mosque extends a row of mean shops. To the left is a guard-house, with three arches supporting a pediment; and a little beyond it is a large modern Turkish palace. Near the right extremity of the view is the Mosque of the Emeer Akhor [Madrasa of Qanibay Amir Akhur]...A little nearer to the Mosque of the Sultan Hasan, is a smaller Mosque, called 'The Mahmoodeeyeh,' and, near to this, between two round-fronted towers, is the great gate of the Citadel...To mention the inferior objects in this view would be to give a tedious catalogue of names...'
