This photo shows the entrance portal of a mosque in Cairo. The picture was taken between 1916 and 1921 by K.A.C. Creswell. He used a camera to capture the architecture. Creswell became a leading expert in medieval Islamic buildings. His books on the topic are still used by scholars today. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of his work.
