EGYPT - Collection of Thirty-Five Original Gelatin Silver Photos of Egypt, Showing Cairo and Environs, Memphis, the Red Sea and the Inhabitants of Ismailia and Attaka near the Gulf of Suez. Egypt, c. 1905.

Loose original gelatin silver photos (measuring c. 11 x 16 cm) mounted on card (measuring c. 20 x 27). All photos with period pencil or ink captions in French on recto or verso of the mounts; most photos with period ink or pencil numbers on the mounts; two photos dated “1905” on the mounts. Several images mildly faded or with mild silvering, several mounts with minor creases, small tears or chipping on the extremities, but overall a very good collection of interesting and unusual photos.

Original large vernacular (not commercial, as more often encountered) photos of Egypt taken by a French traveller in the early 20th century. Unlike most collections of Egyptian travel photos from this period, these ones don’t cover ancient temples and sites but instead focus on the life of contemporary Arabic Egypt.

An unusual collection showing everyday life of Egypt with evocative street scenes in the early 20th century.

Twenty-one photos depict Cairo and environs, showing the Nile with feluccas and buildings on the banks, narrow streets and shops of old Cairo, the gate to the Delta Barrage, Al-Rifa’I Mosque, mausoleums and tombs of the Mamluks in Cairo Necropolis, mud-brick buildings in Cairo environs, and scenes with the local people. Four photos show native mud-brick houses in Memphis and local people; two photos depict Muslim inhabitants of Ismailia and their huts made of dried grass. Eight depict the beach at Attaka (modern-day Suez Governorate of Egypt), the Red Sea and steamers coming in or out of the Suez Canal, and a native camel rider portrayed near Attaka.

Great Functionality a bit light weight tho!
Color: Black
It’s def functional. It looks nice and is not an eye sore. Def will be easy to maintain for cleaning of dust. HOWEVER, four stars simply cause it is a bit top heavy. I will have to find a solution to weight it down so it’s not so top heavy. Possibly in the future they might design a simple one like this with a simple one pound weight across the bottom. Outside of that tiny little issue…a pretty solid simple compact remote holder that functions. Need I say it is Not an eye sore sitting on th coffee table. That was also a winner n my book.

Minimalist Must-Have.
Color: Black, Color: Black
I recently purchased this faux leather remote control holder, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The design is sleek and minimalist, making it a perfect addition to any modern living room. Its elegant finish gives the impression of genuine leather, yet it comes at an excellent price point that makes it accessible without sacrificing style. The craftsmanship is solid, with clean stitching and a sturdy structure that keeps remotes neatly organized. It’s not only functional but also adds a touch of sophistication to the space. For anyone looking to declutter their coffee table while maintaining a refined aesthetic, this product is a fantastic choice. Overall, it combines practicality, elegance, and affordability in a way that’s hard to beat. Highly recommended!
