EDITORS COMMENTS
Maxime du Camp's photograph "Le Kaire: Tomb of Sultan El-Ghoury [Cairo], 1849" captures a striking image of the exterior facade of the Mausoleum of Sultan Al-Ghuri in Cairo, Egypt. Dating back to the late Mamluk Period (1505-1517), this architectural masterpiece served as the burial site for Sultan Al-Ghuri and his soldiers. The black and white calotype photograph, created by French photographer Maxime Du Camp during the 1840s, showcases the intricate details of the tomb's exterior. The mausoleum's grandeur is evident through the ornate decorations, including Arabic calligraphy and geometric patterns, that adorn its walls. The image also reveals the complex's impressive size, with the tomb's tall, imposing structure looming over the surrounding landscape. Sultan Al-Ghuri, also known as Al-Ashraf Qansuh Al-Ghuri, was the last Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt. His tomb, located in the Al-Ghuriya quarter of Cairo, is a significant historical site and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Mamluk Period. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing viewers to appreciate the architectural beauty and historical significance of this important monument. Maxime Du Camp's photograph, now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is an essential addition to the museum's collection of heritage art. The image serves as a valuable historical record, providing insight into the architectural and cultural history of Egypt during the Mamluk Period. The photograph's black and white composition adds to its timeless appeal, making it a captivating work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers.
