- Curator's comments
- Produced by students of the Liberal Arts Department at Cairo University, the magazine is a platform for students to voice opinions and literary critiques. This 1951 issue includes critical voices of political dissent, one year before the coup d’état that brought down the monarchy, and led to Gamal Abdel Nasser becoming president.
