The Creswell photographic archive at the American University in Cairo is an invaluable resource of over 12,000 printed images of Islamic architecture, mainly in Cairo, but also including buildings in other important cities such as Crdoba and Baghdad. Creswells own photographs constitute the majority of the collection, but he also assembled work by photographers active in the decades before he began his systematic recording in the 1920s. This volume of collected studies seeks to highlight the value of this collection for scholars, who can examine the visual evidence of architecture now destroyed or altered in order to better understand various aspects of these significant buildings. Contributors discuss such issues as epigraphy in domestic and religious architecture, the use of early photographs as guides for modern restoration, and military architecture. Contributors: Tarek Galal AbdelHamid, Noha AbouKhatwa, Conchita AorveTschirgi, Dina Ishak Bakhoum, Nairy Hampikian, May alIbrashy, Hani Hamza, Chahinda Karim, Dina Montasser, Bernard OKane, Seif ElRashidi, Ola Seif, Nicholas Warner.
