EGYPT - Collection of Thirty-Five Original Gelatin Silver Photos of Egypt, Showing Cairo and Environs, Memphis, the Red Sea and the Inhabitants of Ismailia and Attaka near the Gulf of Suez. Egypt, c. 1905.

Loose original gelatin silver photos (measuring c. 11 x 16 cm) mounted on card (measuring c. 20 x 27). All photos with period pencil or ink captions in French on recto or verso of the mounts; most photos with period ink or pencil numbers on the mounts; two photos dated “1905” on the mounts. Several images mildly faded or with mild silvering, several mounts with minor creases, small tears or chipping on the extremities, but overall a very good collection of interesting and unusual photos.

Original large vernacular (not commercial, as more often encountered) photos of Egypt taken by a French traveller in the early 20th century. Unlike most collections of Egyptian travel photos from this period, these ones don’t cover ancient temples and sites but instead focus on the life of contemporary Arabic Egypt.

An unusual collection showing everyday life of Egypt with evocative street scenes in the early 20th century.

Twenty-one photos depict Cairo and environs, showing the Nile with feluccas and buildings on the banks, narrow streets and shops of old Cairo, the gate to the Delta Barrage, Al-Rifa’I Mosque, mausoleums and tombs of the Mamluks in Cairo Necropolis, mud-brick buildings in Cairo environs, and scenes with the local people. Four photos show native mud-brick houses in Memphis and local people; two photos depict Muslim inhabitants of Ismailia and their huts made of dried grass. Eight depict the beach at Attaka (modern-day Suez Governorate of Egypt), the Red Sea and steamers coming in or out of the Suez Canal, and a native camel rider portrayed near Attaka.

Cute but uncomfortable
Size: 6.5, Color: Black Leather
I’m usually a size 6. I got a 6.5, they fit perfect. Super cute, but just from trying them on and walking around my fit we’re already turned red. Still going to wear them to my event but I’m in for one lol

Comfy and perfect heels for the summer!
Love these heels! I’m 5’5”, 120 lbs and size 8.5. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on and I have somewhat wide feet. They are the perfect summer heels!

Cute but Extremely Uncomfortable
Size: 6, Color: Blue Leather
The shoes are very pretty, but they are absolutely uncomfortable. I could barely wear them for an hour without my feet hurting. Unfortunately, they look much better than they feel. I really wanted to love them, but they are not comfortable enough to wear for any extended period of time.
