Inscription: Signed 'Frith E. No. 84' in the negative; also inscribed 'No. 11.'
Genre: Urban Topographical Photography
View from the Citadel, looking westwards towards the Mosque of Sultan Hasan: 'The principal object is the great Mosque of the Sultan Hasan. Between this and the buildings in the foreground. Upon the roofs and numerous ventilators of which we look down, is a portion of the extensive open space called 'the Rumeyleh,' in which a kind of market is held. Along the front of the mosque extends a row of mean shops; and behind it is a large modern Turkish palace. At the right extremity of the view is the Mosque of the Emeer Akhor, the subject of a view already described. 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...In the extreme distance, separated from the city by a richly-cultivated plain, through which flows the Nile, is seen a portion of the great Lybian Desert, stretching along the whole view, slightly elevated above the plain which it bounds.'
