"Feloeken op de Nijl bij de Qasr al-Nil-brug, Caïro" is a photographic work by Jean Pascal Sébah, a renowned photographer active in Egypt between 1888 and 1895. The image captures a picturesque scene on the Nile River in Cairo, featuring several traditional feluccas, small sailing boats, navigating near the Qasr al-Nil Bridge. Sébah's photograph exemplifies his skill in capturing the everyday life and vibrant culture of Egypt in the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the city's bustling waterways and the traditional sailing vessels that were a vital part of its transportation system. The photograph's detail, composition, and clarity contribute to its enduring appeal as a document of Egyptian history and a testament to Sébah's artistry.
