Thomas Robert Macquoid

Thomas Robert Macquoid’s watercolours capture 19th-century Cairo’s architectural nooks. This bundle includes his 1870 view of Darb al-Ahmer, where the Mosque and Tomb of Amir Khayrbak stand side by side. The scene shows arched doorways, domes, and dappled light on stone, all rendered in the fine, precise lines typical of British topographical watercolours. Step past the mosque’s courtyard to find Macquoid’s bustling street scenes.
