While many Americans were first introduced to “Saracenic” art at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876, Moore had been an early collector of art objects from the Middle East, and Tiffany design work manifests “Saracenic” influences as early as the 1860s. This book by British historian, archaeologist, and scholar Lane-Poole explores Islamic art and architecture of medieval Egypt.
