EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a breathtaking panorama of Cairo, showcasing the rich Islamic art and architectural wonders that define this historic city. In the foreground, we are drawn to the magnificent Mausoleum of Khayr Bey, its dome and cupola standing proudly against the sky. On the left, our eyes are immediately captivated by the grandeur of the Madrassa of Sultan Hasan, with its intricate building elements and decorative sections. The photograph was taken around 1880, offering us a glimpse into Cairo's past during the first and second millennium A. D. However, it is important to note that the artwork itself dates back even further to XIV-XVI centuries. As we explore this image further, we can appreciate various architectural details such as windows adorned with delicate designs and crenelations adding an element of charm to these structures. The mausoleum serves as a tomb or funerary structure while also providing an impressive view of Cairo's bustling cityscape. This remarkable piece by Arnoux Hippolyte showcases not only his talent for capturing stunning panoramas but also highlights Egypt's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us of how Islamic art has shaped Africa throughout history.
