1927208311927. Photo album documenting a multi country group यातà¥à¤°à¤¾ in 1927 records interwar travel across southern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean including regions under colonial administration and recent political transition. The album follows a group of travelers moving from France through Italy Greece Turkey British administered Palestine and Egypt capturing urban landmarks archaeological sites and local populations encountered along the route. The sequence provides visual evidence of tourism infrastructure mobility and cross cultural observation during a period when former imperial territories such as Constantinople were undergoing redefinition following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of modern nation states.<br /> <br /> Album contains 93 black and white silver gelatin photographs and four real photo postcards with images ranging approximately from 2.5 x 4 inches to 3.5 x 5.5 inches and one larger group photograph measuring about 9 x 7 inches. Photographs are mounted on black paper boards with handwritten captions in white pencil and interleaved tissue guards; string bound in patterned cloth boards. The album opens in Avignon with views of St. Pierre's Church and the Palais des Papes then continues through Italy with scenes of Naples and Pompeii as well as shipboard images captioned S.S. Adriatic. Subsequent sections include Athens with views of the Parthenon followed by Constantinople where four postcards depict the harbor the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Hagia Sophia shortly after the end of the Ottoman Empire. In British Mandate Palestine images show street scenes in Nazareth and Jerusalem including sites along the River Jordan the Western Wall and the Garden of Gethsemane alongside a captioned portrait labeled "A Jewish Maiden." The album concludes in Egypt with extensive views of archaeological and urban sites at Thebes Memphis Cairo and Luxor including the Obelisk of Hatshepsut Edfu Temple the tomb of Amenhotep II the Colossi of Memnon and the pyramids and Great Sphinx at Giza where the final group portrait shows the travelers posed on camels.<br /> <br /> Produced during the interwar period the album reflects expanding international tourism networks alongside ongoing European influence in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. The juxtaposition of ancient sites modern transport and local populations situates the material within broader histories of archaeology empire and travel culture in the early twentieth century.

In excellent condition. This map was compiled drawn and printed in Palestine under the direction of Frederick John Salmon the Commissioner for Lands and Surveys. First published in 1936 with two later editions issued in 1945 a first edition created by Salmon and a second edition with new information supplied by the Department of Antiquities. This is the third edition which is a 'modified reprint' published in May 1947. Notable sites are identified with particular emphasis on Temple Mount.

Several hospitals schools and cemeteries are also identified. Frederick John Salmon 1882 - July 8 1964 was a British surveyor foreign service officer and soldier. He served in the Ceylon Survey from 1908 through 1930 with the exception of serving on the Western Front during World War I. During the war he made a name for himself by promoting cooperation between surveying and artillery. He was also particularly enthusiastic about printing and distributing updated maps and using aerial photography to update tactical maps. He became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in December 1918. Between 1930 and 1933 Salmon directed the Lands and Survey Departments in Cyprus but was named Director of the Palestine Survey at the end of 1932. He began work at the Survey of Palestine on March 27 1933 and began an initiative to begin a modern topographical mapping of Palestine. He was appointed Commissioner for Lands and Surveys of Palestine and as a member of the Advisory Council to the Government of Palestine in 1935. After a thirty-year career surveying sites around the Empire Salmon retired on July 13 1938. His cartographic work is part of the collection at the Royal Geographical Society. In 1937 then Commissioner of Lands and Surveys Lieutenant Colonel F. J. Salmon described the importance of the department's work with respect to allowing land purchases: "In the Ottoman days a title to a piece of land in Palestine was a very vague document. There was no survey recording shape area or position; the description was usually to say the least of it ambiguous and the extent which was the gauge for taxation was almost invariably falsified to save the pocket of the owner. Big blocks were and in areas where there has been no land settlement still are shared by large numbers of owners who have no defined boundaries and who often alter the position of their plots from year to year… To purchase land from a title owner or worse still from an occupier who had no title was a very uncertain business and often still is. The difficulty however is now being solved though very slowly by Land Settlement… The claims are recorded and examined by Palestinian Assistant Settlement Officers while cases of dispute are heard by British Land Settlement Officers… Even in areas that are not under Settlement a land-owner can apply for an authoritative registration of title on a modern survey but if there is a dispute this has to be settled by the Land Court a much slower more expensive and laborious proceeding than an investigation and judgment by a Settlement Officer".
