Description

Album of black and white photographs was a gift to Bert Fish from fellow United States diplomat and amateur photographer Burton Yost Berry. It is believed that Berry worked for the American Legation at Cairo during the summer of 1938, as evidenced by Berry's inscription on the inside cover of the album: To the Honorable Bert Fish, My Chief during a very busy and happy summer in Cairo, Burton Y. Berry September 1, 1938 Cairo, Egypt The images reflect daily life in Cairo in 1938, particularly along the Nile river and in the ancient areas of the city that constitute Historic Cairo (also known as Islamic Cairo). Historic Cairo is known for its mosques, madrasses, hammams, and other examples of medieval Islamic architecture. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. BFC 2021.07.56
