Naya & Schoefft General view of the Mamluk tombs, Cairo, from “Le Caire pittoresque.” ca. 1875. Albumen print, mounted on blue-gray card. Image: 19.8 x 25 cm (mount 22.5 x 27.8 cm). Number “88” on the negative in the lower left corner. Naya’s Venetian publishing enterprise and Schoefft’s Cairo studio joined forces in the mid-1870s to produce *Le Caire pittoresque*, a series of architectural views, landscapes, and genre scenes intended for the European market. This view of the Mamluk necropolis is part of the series’ extensive survey of Cairo and its environs, combining Schoefft’s local photographic practice with Naya’s established international distribution network. – Mount has occasional small spots; print has fine surface craquelure and light scuff marks, more apparent in raking light, scattered small marks in the sky, slight fading along the edges, and light yellowing in the highlights; otherwise, a strong tonal print in very good condition.
