About
First edition and first printing. Hardcover. Features text by James Aldridge. A collection of Strand's black and white photographs taken in Egypt.
Strand, with Aldridge's help, has tried to extract the quintessence from Egypt. They both set out to make modern Egypt comprehensible. This suggests something a little more far-reaching than the simple picture-and-text of a decorative book. They are mainly concerned with the underlying evidence of what Egypt is, and what it is trying to become.
