A set of books of One Thousand and One Nights from the late 1940s to the early 1950s

Publisher: Al-Thaalabiya Library and Printing House – Egypt The lower address mentions: "Printing house: 10 Al-Mansouriya Street next to Al-Azhar School – Royal: Al-Azhar Square – Cairo" There is a serial number 5573, which is an old deposit number. The typography and decorations in the title (the ornate Alif and Lam) belong to the first half of the twentieth century. Its paper is thick, rough, and brownish, indicating lithographic printing or primitive printing before the introduction of smooth paper in Egypt in the fifties. The letters are handwritten in classical decorative script, and the cover appears to be printed using stone engraving (lithography). 🕰 The result: this copy most likely dates back to the 1940s or early 1950s
