View of Boolak [Bulaq, Cairo]. Photographer: Frith, Francis
- Scope & Content:
-
Inscription: Signed 'Frith. Photo.' on mount beneath print.
Genre: Urban Topographical Photography
'Concealed behind the mound in the foreground of this view is one of the entrances to Boolak from Cairo, of which city it is the principal port. The only mosque in this view is of modern date, as is shown by the Turkish form of the minaret, and beyond it are gardens and detached houses. Nearly in the centre is a pretty specimen of the Egyptian house, with picturesque lattices, and a projecting window. The general aspect, it will be observed, is more pleasing than that of most Eastern cities, because it is more relieved by picturesque foliage; the town being well interspersed with gardens.'
