Les cartes postales de L’Égypte d’hier en couleurs.

This research explores postcards presented in L’Égypte d’hier en couleurs (2008), by studying introductory images of four main parts: “Portraits”, “Arab Cairo”, “European Cairo” and “Tourists and natives”. It aims to point out the representation made of the country, and to better understand East/West relations. Texts accompanying images are also analyzed in order to examine the relationship between verbal and visual discourses, which convey a nostalgic representation of “Egypt in bygone days”.
