This black-and-white photograph shows the inside of a dome in Cairo’s Mausoleum of Sitt Zubayda. It’s part of a huge set of architectural photos shot by K.A.C. Creswell in the 1920s and ’30s. Creswell spent years documenting medieval Islamic buildings across Egypt and the Middle East. His work became the go-to reference for scholars studying these structures. Want to see more like this?
