This is Series 15 by the photographer Stylianos Coutsicos. Produced in Cairo in about 1900. They have to be seen to appreciate the beauty of this great wonder of the World. Pictures of individual cards can be sent on request to interested parties.

A set of similar postcards is to be found in the collection of Stanford Library, Colonial Africa: Postcard Collection, 1880-1980.

They measure 15 x 7 cm and weigh 60 grams.

Of great value to collectors of things Egyptian.
