A postcard bearing the title 'Cairo – Flood-Time Near Pyramids'. Lehnert & Landrock was a renowned photography studio active in Cairo during the early 20th century, known for their high-quality photographic postcards, often depicting scenes from Egypt and the surrounding regions. Their photographs romanticised the region's landscapes, architecture, and people, emphasising the exotic and timeless, in line with the Orientalist movement popular at the time.
