"88. Une rue, à Rosette" (1843) by Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey, is a lithograph depicting a street scene in Rosetta, Egypt. The artwork captures the unique architectural style of the city, with tall, narrow buildings lining a narrow street, culminating in a minaret in the distance. The presence of a camel and figures dressed in traditional attire further transports viewers to the bustling streets of 19th-century Egypt. This lithograph, a testament to Prangey’s fascination with architecture and culture of the Middle East, is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
