First World War Postcard of the ‘Sheikh”s Tomb at El Marg Village’, Egypt
1900 - 1919A black and white postcard depicting a traditional domed shaped tomb sitting next to a stream in a village. Behind the tomb are several palm trees and other buildings can be seen in the distance. On the opposite side of the water there is another building, a boy riding a donkey and a group of men. The postcard is in very good condition with only very small fading of the proforma printing on the reverse. The side edge has perforations that suggest it was separated from another card. The front is printed with a description of the image, and the reverse has proforma printing.
El Marg was a rural village near Cairo and was documented in several vintage postcards
