95. Foûah, sur le Nil 1843

"95. Foûah, sur le Nil" (1843) by Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey, is a black and white print depicting a view of the Nile River, with the village of Foûah in the background. The artist, a French architect and photographer, captured the scene during his travels through Egypt in the mid-19th century. Prangey's work showcased the beauty and architectural wonders of ancient and modern Egypt, a significant period of European interest in the region. This print, part of a series documenting his journey, captures a serene moment, highlighting the tranquil waters and the city's skyline dominated by minarets. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, making the image both visually appealing and historically significant.
