EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Cairo during the early 20th century. The image showcases the majestic Tombs of the Mamelouks, a burial site that dates back to the medieval Mamluk Dynasty. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a bygone era filled with mystery and history. The photograph captures the exterior of one of these ancient mausoleums, standing proudly amidst the necropolis known as "the City of the Dead". The letterbox format adds an artistic touch, emphasizing both its grandeur and ruinous state. The photographer skillfully uses backlighting to create a dramatic effect, casting long shadows on the weathered walls. Though created by an unknown artist, this vintage postcard evokes a sense of awe and wonder at Egypt's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that even in death, great dynasties leave behind lasting legacies for future generations to admire. As we explore this panoramic view of Cairo's tombs from decades past, our imagination runs wild with tales from Middle Eastern folklore and legends surrounding Mizraim. This print is not just an image frozen in time; it is a window into another world - one where ancient civilizations come alive through photography. Whether you are an avid traveler or simply appreciate historical artistry, this print will transport you to a forgotten era where tombs hold secrets waiting to be discovered.
