Lajnat Ḥifẓ al-Āthār al-ʻArabīyah (Egypt), Majlis al-Aʻlá lil-Āthār (Egypt) · 1898 · Le Caire : Impr. centrale J. Barbier · 14 pictures

This is an 1898 Cairo publication of proceedings and technical section reports issued by Egypt's Committee for the Preservation of Arab Monuments, documenting official survey work on Islamic architecture for specialist government and scholarly readers. The photographs are rotated plates of aqueduct masonry, showing rows of arched openings in stone and rubble walls with weathered surfaces and uneven ground, useful to a designer as raw texture and rhythmic repeated-arch structure.
