1900206431900. Unidentified photographers Palestine stereoview archive ca. 1900-1930 documents religious geography pilgrimage activity and daily life in Palestine during the late Ottoman and British Mandatory periods supporting research into colonial visual culture Western educational media and representations of the Holy Land. The archive reflects the widespread use of stereoscopic imagery in classrooms and lecture circuits where photographic views of biblical sites and contemporary inhabitants were circulated to shape Western understanding of the region. The images foreground Christian pilgrimage locations while also incorporating local populations and landscapes offering a layered record of how Palestine was visually interpreted for foreign audiences in the early twentieth century.<br /> Twenty-one albumen stereoview photographs primarily produced by Keystone View Company and Underwood & Underwood depicting locations across Palestine including Jerusalem Bethlehem Nazareth and surrounding regions. Views include the Mount of Olives pilgrims walking along the Via Dolorosa the Garden of Gethsemane and the village of Siloam Silwan. Landscape images show the plains of Jericho the Sharon plain and the hills of Samaria with visible architectural ruins including freestanding stone columns. Several images depict daily activity including a Samaritan woman drawing water from Jacob's Well a cattle drive moving through the Valley of Hinnom and individuals traveling mountainous terrain with pack animals. Interiors and urban edges are suggested through narrow streets and clustered buildings. Many mounts include printed captions on the verso in multiple languages. One Keystone stereoview dated 1909 describes the view from the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem referencing the Valley of Jehoshaphat the Golden Gate and the city's religious divisions. Another caption provides a descriptive overview of Jerusalem's population industries and urban conditions framing the city for an արտաքին educational audience.<br /> <br /> Produced during a period of transition from Ottoman to British control the archive reflects how Palestine was mediated through commercial photography for Western consumption particularly emphasizing biblical associations and pilgrimage routes while presenting local populations within ethnographic and orientalist frameworks. The stereoview format itself functioned as both entertainment and instruction reinforcing spatial and cultural narratives through three-dimensional illusion. Light edge wear and minor surface handling consistent with use; images remain clear with well-preserved contrast. Overall in very good condition. unknown

189257643<p>PHOTOGRAPHS 1890s INCLUDING SOME OF JEWISH COLONISTS</p><p>oblong folio album 28 x 27.5 cms. 22 thick card leaves on guards on the card sides are mounted 170 original sepia tinted photographs 9.5 x 12 cms. 4 photographs per 'page' except two 'pages' at the end with 3 photographs and the last 'page' blank all photographs neatly captioned in pen bound in contemporary half black morocco spine with gilt decorated raised bands black cloth on sides front cover boldly lettered at centre 'Palestine' and at foot "M. & A. W." and 1892 or 3 final numeral defaced cloth on fore edges of both boards damp stained with loss of the final numeral of the date see below front endpapers likewise damp stained at fore edges contents otherwise very good.</p><p>The damp damage to the fore-edge of the cloth has caused the loss of the gilt on the last numeral of the date but a trace remains of the top part of the impressed numeral and from that shape it must be either a 2 or a 3.<br />This album records a visit and tour through Palestine by two English speaking persons "M & A. W" that we have not been able to identify. The photographs obviously taken by one of the party record their progress guides local people villages bedouin encampments encountered buildings horses etc. One photograph on the first page clearly shows a member of the travelling party a fairly elderly woman about to travel on a mule-borne palanguin. Another of the party in a boat about to cross the Sea of Galilee appears to show two women. Places depicted include Sebastiych in Samaria Shumem modern Sulan of which there are many views Bethel Mount Tabor region Sea of Gallilee and the River Jordan Atlit Castle Tanturah modern Tantura Calvary Mar Saba monastery views along the road to Hebron and of the Russian hospice there etc. Very many of photographs show local people encountered along the way and three photographs at Tanturah show "Jewish colonists" there. Baron Rothschild owned land there and had in 1884 a Russian Jewish farmer establish a farm there and "In 1891 Baron Rothschild financed the development of a bottle factory in Tantura as he planned to use the fine sand on the shore to manufacture glass bottles for the fledgling wine industry . A building was constructed . dozens of workers were hired and three ships were purchased to transport raw material and bottles. But he abandoned the factory in 1895 after a string of failures" wikipedia. Presumably these colonists were attached to that enterprise. A number of photographs include Abraham Lyons their dragoman translator and guide the only person actually here identified by name. Lyons is recorded as a Jerusalem based dragoman in Baedeker's <em>Palestine and Syria Handbook for Travellers</em> 1867 and in "Letter from Jerusalem" in <em>The Rockland Co Journal</em> vol.xxxiii May 1883 "dragoman Lyons" is described as a "Christian Israelite".<br />The photographs are in good condition with only a few faded.</p> hardcover
