EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and charm of Cairo's historic architecture. The image captures a house called Beyt El-Emyr, which may appear slightly dilapidated but still exudes an undeniable allure. Published in 1877 as a chromolithograph, this print is part of "L'Art Arabe d'après les Monuments de Kaire" a collection that celebrates Islamic art, architecture, woodwork, tiling, interiors, furniture, and more. The focal point of the photograph is an exquisite example of a Moucharabyeh or Mashrabiya – an architectural element synonymous with Arabic residences. This particular feature is a type of projecting oriel window enclosed with intricately carved wood latticework. As we gaze upon the scene captured by Emile Prisse d'Avennes – French archaeologist and Egyptologist – we see a woman leaning out from one such window. Her presence adds life to the composition as she gazes downward into the bustling streets below. The geometric designs adorning the Mashrabiya create mesmerizing patterns that enhance its aesthetic appeal while reflecting traditional Islamic motifs. This print not only offers us glimpses into Cairo's rich cultural heritage but also serves as a testament to Prisse d'Avennes' passion for documenting historical monuments across North Africa. It invites us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind these architectural wonders and their significance within Muslim culture.
