Reseña del editor:
Excerpt from Catalogue of the National Museum of Arab Art
Of a ceiling, inevitably reminds one Of the irreparable loss Of the building it once adorned, each individual panel or painted joist is itself a marvel of artistic design and skilled handicraft, and suggests valu able motives and developments to the student Of ornament.
To study connectedly the history Of Saracenic ornament as elaborated in Egypt, the Museum re quires to be arranged in strict chronological order. This is manifestly impossible in the present crowded building, already overflowing into two annexes. Plans for a new Museum, with which the Khedivial Library will be combined, have been approved, how ever, and by 1898 we may hope to see these unique collections worthily housed.
