Egypt and Nubia, Volume III: Gate of Victory and Minaret of the Mosque El Hakim

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a large stone gate with a flat top and intricate designs on its surface. The gate is on the left side, with a tall, thin tower with a pointed top behind it, to the right. The tower is part of a mosque, with a palm tree next to it. There are people standing around the gate and in the background; one person rides a camel on the right side. The sky is cloudy. The image is sepia-toned. The scene shows a city street with buildings and a desert or sandy area. The image includes a caption at the bottom.
