Légende

The Crisis in Egypt: the Turkish Carpet Bazaar, Cairo, 1881. 'As the city of Cairo is just now the scene of critical events, there is a more than usual degree of interest even in the ordinary aspects of its domestic and popular life. Our Illustration, therefore, of the bazaar in which Turkish carpets are sold, though not directly connected with the crisis of the Egyptian Government, may be deemed appropriate to the circumstances of this time'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
