Footnotes
An unsual album of photographs, compiled by James Annan (1887-1957) who appears to be have been working for the engineering contractors Henry Lovatt Ltd between 1910 and 1913 on the building of the new barracks at Abbassia, in the suburbs of Cairo. Approximately 50 views depict various stages of the construction, workers, and activities at the barracks (including Lord Kitchener presenting prizes at a Rifle Meeting, and the Coronation Ceremony for George V, 1911). Other images include the "passing of the Mahmal" during the annual pilgrimage from Cairo to Mecca (5), street scenes "in the Mousky district" and "among the Bazaars", the Nile barrage and dam, and "typical Mosque tombs".
