TITLE VIGNETTE TO VOL. III.
This view is one of the most generally characteristic of the streets and buildings of Cairo that
the Artist could select. The narrow way, overhanging houses, trellised windows, sheds and shops,
the throng of people and the crowning minaret of the mosque, rich in all that constitutes such an
Arab structure, make up a scene of singular and picturesque beauty. It is thus presented in the
main street of Cairo, which leads from the square of the citadel to the Bab-el-Nasr, or Gate of
Victory; the street bears the name of the Gimaleah, or Camel Way, because through it lies the
course of the procession of the camel that yearly, in the caravan of pilgrims, bears from Cairo
the sacred covering for the tomb of the Prophet at Mecca.
