Qurqumas Dome Print

Originally illustrated in Parallèle de dômes (1877) by Émile Prisse d’Avennes, this architectural sketch highlights the distinctive dome of the Mausoleum of Qurqumas, a Mamluk monument in Cairo’s Qarafa. The artwork captures the harmony and precision of Islamic architecture as seen through a 19th-century European lens.

Curated from a public domain source and carefully reproduced to celebrate Cairo’s enduring craftsmanship and heritage.
