Légende

The Crisis in Egypt: Mosque of Sultan Hassan, Cairo, 1881. 'Among the stately architectural monuments of ancient Mussulman grandeur in the capital of Egypt, where a recent political crisis has attracted general notice, the Mosques standing near together, in the main street of the city, command the visitor's attention...But the finest mosque in Cairo is that of Sultan Hassan, in front of the Citadel, which is shown in our Illustration. The dome and minarets surmounting its roof, and the delicate tracery of the projecting cornice around the building, are particularly admired. Sultan Hassan died in 1382...The history of Mohammedan rule in the Nile country is one of many political vicissitudes, and there is much likelihood of another speedy change in these times'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
