Note 28 — Chapter II

For illustrations of the chief mosques and other buildings of Cairo, consult (besides Coste and Prisse d’Avennes) Ebers’ Egypt, where there are some admirable interiors of houses after Mr. Frank Dillon’s pictures, besides good views of various portions of the mosques of El-Māridāny (i., 202, ii., 70), the Māristān, &c. (i., 247, 249, 250), Sultan Hasan (i., 238, 262, 268), El-Muayyad (i., 273, 274), Ezbek (i., 281), Kāït Bey (i., 284), and El-Ghōry (i., 286). My Egyptian chapters in Picturesque Palestine, Sinai, and Egypt, vol. iv., contain some fine woodcuts of El-Ashraf Bars Bey (142), Sultan Hasan (143), Barkūk (145), Kāït Bey (148), and others, with useful street views; and in the supplementary volume, Social Life in Egypt, are illustrations of El-Hākim’s minarets (90), Kalaūn’s mausoleum (91), Sultan Hasan (95), and Kāït Bey (99-101), besides many objects of Saracenic Art from the Cairo museum.
