cats-of-cairo: I am having so much fun with my tablet that I upgraded some old photographs with flowers inspired by Ottoman Iznik tiles and pottery. I am always trying to find some old postcards when I am in Cairo and as soon as I find a working scanner I will start working with my collection. Here, the original photographs are from collection of Victoria and Albert Museum and the flowers are from various 15th-16th century objects from Tokapi Palace in Istambul. Please tell me how do you like it! 1. Carte-de-visite photograph by an anonymous photographer depicting a standing woman with a lamp. Taken ca. 1850-80 in Egypt or Morocco. From collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, E.1045-1995. 2. Photograph by Zangaki depicting a dancer. Taken ca. 1870-1890 in Cairo, Egypt. From collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, E.1405-1995. -- source link
