EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Cairo, Egypt, during the early 20th century. The image showcases the majestic Tombs of the Califs, a burial ground that holds great historical significance. Standing tall against the backdrop of a clear day, this architectural marvel is an epitome of Middle Eastern grandeur. Intriguingly, a camel train passes by in front of the tombs, adding an exotic touch to the scene. These magnificent creatures were not only used for transportation but also symbolize Egypt's rich cultural heritage. The photographer skillfully captures both the vastness of this necropolis and its intricate details with monochrome precision. The letterbox format enhances the panoramic view while creating a sense of depth and perspective. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from an album of postcards, we are transported to another era where death and beauty coexist harmoniously. It serves as a reminder that even in places dedicated to eternal rest, life continues to thrive through tourism and admiration for ancient wonders. Although created by an unknown artist between 1918 and 1939, this print has managed to preserve history within its frame. It invites us to explore Cairo's City of the Dead with curiosity and reverence for those who came before us.
