Graven van de Mamelukken, Caïro, Egypte 1856 - 1860

This stereoscopic photograph, “Graven van de Mamelukken, Caïro, Egypte”, was taken by British photographer Francis Frith between 1856 and 1860 during his travels in Egypt. The photograph captures the crumbling ruins of the Mamluk tombs in Cairo, providing a glimpse into the architectural heritage of the city. The image showcases the unique perspective of stereoscopic photography, with two slightly different images creating a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope. Frith’s work, known for its detailed documentation of Egypt, offers a valuable historical record of the country's architectural and cultural landscape.
