"Architecture Arabe: Ou, Monuments du Kaire, Mesurés et Dessinés, de 1818 à 1826" is a title page from a book published in 1839 by French architect Pascal Coste. The title page features a simple, detailed engraving of a mosque complex, likely a representation of the subject of Coste's publication. The engraving's focus on architecture, specifically the precise measurement and depiction of Islamic architecture, exemplifies the 19th-century European fascination with non-Western cultures. The publication itself is a valuable resource for understanding the architectural landscape of Cairo during the 1820s.
