EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Citadel of Cairo" takes us on a journey back in time to the early 20th century. The print showcases the majestic fortress walls and fortifications that surround this historic landmark in Egypt's capital city. The Citadel of Cairo stands tall and proud, its ramparts exuding strength and grandeur. Built with marble blocks, it is a testament to architectural brilliance and human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are transported to an era when such fortified structures were not only symbols of power but also served as protective barriers against potential threats. In the foreground, we see people going about their daily lives within the citadel's walls. Their presence adds depth and perspective to the scene, reminding us that history is not just about monumental structures but also about the lives lived within them. This lithograph was created by an American School artist in the 1920s for Charles F Horne's book "The World and its People". Its inclusion in this comprehensive tour of all lands speaks volumes about its significance as a representation of Cairo's rich cultural heritage. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical value. It serves as a window into a bygone era where fortresses like The Citadel of Cairo stood as guardians over ancient cities steeped in tradition and history.
