Keppel Archibald Cameron Creswell (1879-1974) was a British authority on medieval Islamic architecture particularly known for his pioneering use of photography to document the Islamic architecture of Egypt. Born in London, Creswell initially trained and worked as an electrical engineer, but he developed an early and abiding interest in Islamic architecture. In 1914, he unsuccessfully sought employment with the Archaeological Survey of India. He joined the Royal Flying Corps in 1916 and eventually became Inspector of Monuments in Palestine and Syria. In 1920, he proposed a history of Egypt's Muslim architecture to Egyptian King Fuad I, who provided a stipend in support of the project. Creswell was a professor at King Fuad I University (later Cairo University) between 1934 and 1951, and then at the American University of Cairo between 1956 and 1974. 1377101. Special Collections.
