Le Caire : le Nil et Memphis
Le Caire : le Nil et Memphis is a 1906 travel and art guide to Cairo and ancient Memphis by Gaston Migeon, published in Paris by H. Laurens for French readers interested in Egyptian architecture. The photographs show Cairo's Mamluk-era mosques, minarets and domes shot in plain grey halftone, with stone courtyards, carved stucco and geometric window screens a designer could draw on for pattern and silhouette.
