Tombs in the Southern Cemetery, Cairo, fourth view. Photographer: Frith, Francis
- Scope & Content:
-
Inscription: Signed 'Frith E. No. 77' in the negative.
Genre: Architectural Photography
Described as 'third view' in list of plates, and 'fourth view' on image mount. 'This view is taken among the groups of tombs and mosques given in a previous photograph. The spectator is, in this instance, looking towards the south-west. On the left stand three dome-covered tombs, of which the central and loftiest one is admirable as an example of the best Cairo architecture...Two other domes stand beside the central building. That nearest to the spectator, and close to the one first described, is much older in character; the further one, which is more distant, occupies a middle space between the others, in the time of its erection...Towards the middle of the view is a small and picturesque tomb of later date; and behind it an old minaret, of which the mosque, formerly atteched to it, has disappeared...'
