Cairo, tombs in the Southern Cemetery, second view. Photographer: Frith, Francis
- Scope & Content:
-
Inscription: Signed 'Frith E. No. 80' in the negative.
Genre: Urban Topographical Photography
View of domed tombs and smaller graves in the cemetery: 'The sepulchral mosques and burial-ground in this view are included in another photograph, as is also the dome on the right, and the minaret behind it. In the present instance the spectator is looking towards the west. The direction is well shown by the shadowy pyramids of El-Geezeh, on the horizon of the Lybian hills. Between those monuments and the foreground lie the southern suburbs of modern Cairo; that immediately in front is the small quarter called 'Harat es-Seyyideh Nefeeseh'.'
