This is a black-and-white photograph of a tall tower in Cairo. It was taken between 1916 and 1921 by K.A.C. Creswell. The photo comes from a big collection of old building photos at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Creswell spent his life studying Islamic architecture. The museum bought his Cairo views between 1921 and 1939. See what else the Victoria and Albert Museum has online.
