Print
A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts stone domes and slender minarets under a hazy, tan sky. In the center, ornate structures rise from behind a low wall. To the right, figures with camels traverse the sandy foreground toward the distant Saladin Citadel atop a rocky plateau. The print uses muted sepia and gray tones to evoke a dusty atmosphere. Text below reads, "TOMBS OF THE MAMELUKES, CAIRO."
