Content:
This nineteenth-century photographic survey of the Islamic Near East from Morocco to Turkey is illustrated with 374 photographs, many full page, arranged thematically. Primarily ethnographic albumen prints, color photochromes, glass slides and a ferrotype, the images reproduce the hue, value, contrast and focus of each original print. The 5000-image archive from which the images were selected was created over a period of forty years by Mohammed B. Alwan, professor of Arabic literature and culture at Tufts and Harvard Universities. Many of the collection's prints were acquired during travel throughout Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Alwan's native Iraq, and represent fifty years of work by distinguished European and native photographers, including Beato, Béchard, Dumas, Frith, Hakim, Iranian, Lekegian and Sébah
