註釋

Numerous full-color paintings accompany this description of Egypt at the turn of the 20th century. Artist Robert Talbot Kelly quit his family's business in the early 1880s and traveled to Cairo, where he established himself as an artist, became fluent in Arabic, and spent a good deal of time living with Bedouin tribes. His travels throughout the country form the basis of this volume, which features both Kelly's artwork and his writings about the people and scenes he found in Egyptian towns and deserts. These works show great empathy and respect for Egyptian peoples and cultures.
