Description

Lantern slide. Showing a view of Cairo. This photograph was taken by Sgt. Johnson of the 436 Welsh Field Company c. 1917. It formed part of a lecture which he gave. The notes from his lecture read 'mahmed Ali Mosque and Citadel at Cairo. The two minerets rise to a height of 150 feet and in the courtyard is a well 300 feet deep and level with the Nile. The interior is lit by 1000 electric lights and has a huge chandelier of bronze hanging from the Centre dome given by Louis 14th France who also gave a clock of solid bronze to be seen in the courtyard'. This view is similar to EC1794.
