- Title:
-
The Mosque of the Emeer Akhor. Cairo. Photographer: Frith, Francis
- Scope & Content:
-
Inscription: Signed 'Frith' in the negative.
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view of the dome and minaret of the mosque: 'The exterior of the Mosque of the Emeer Akhor is presented with such wonderful effect by the truth of photography, that, with the help of a magnifying glass, we find, on the band encircling the dome, above the windows, the conclusion of the celebrated 'throne-verse' ... The whole of the last sentence is visible in the view ... The arch of the wall in the foreground is the entrance of a small quarter, and through it are seen the steps leading up to the door of the Mosque. The house to the right is a fair specimen of the ruined state of whole quarters; while there are very picturesque examples of streets to which European industry and ample means have given an appearance of bien être, without altogether doing violence to the oriental consistency of their architecture.'
