First World War Black and White Postcard of Tourists Climbing the Great Pyramids of Cairo

A sepia-coloured artistic postcard showing three tourists – two women and one man - being assisted by six local men to climb the large stones that make up the edge of a pyramid. The women wear long dresses that appear to be from the late Victorian or Edwardian era and hats. The gentlemen is dressed in a suit and hat. The local men are all dressed in white robes and differing head ware. Each stone appears to be approximately 3 feet high, and it appears that one of the female tourist’s has a rope attached to her waist that is being held by a local man who stands above her. The image has a border that shows several stains and damage at the top. The reverse of the postcard has proforma printing and description of the image. There are large oil stains clearly seen here.
