Softcover. Color illustrated glued wraps. (12) 13-23, 70 unnumbered pages of plates. 70 b+w illustrations. The contrasting photographs assembled here are intellectually stimulating while provoking a profound nostalgia. In the first place, we start with striking images given form by very fine artists. The preserved corpus of earl…y photographs is not the work of amateurs. There are extraordinary views, taken with an accomplished technique, often impelled by a painterly eye. (These) sets reveal the monstrous development of Cairo as a megametropolis and the impact that development has had on the Islamic core of the old city. They suggest what Iverson's photographs cannot reveal - because the buildings are no longer there - namely the loss of entire monuments, streets, quarters. Good, some minor marks on cover, pages in excellent condition.
