197122826Hull: Hull University 1971. First Edition. Very good. Poster silk-screened in blue gold and red. Mild wear creasing. Some rubbing. Else bright and sound. Very good. <br/><br/>Original poster for an Afro Rock event at Hull University featuring one of the most important bands of the movement Assagai. Afro Rock which had its strongest incarnation in the UK in the late sixties and early seventies combined Western rock instrumentation with African and Afro-Cuban rhythms and percussion. Assagai featured emegrees from both South Africa and Nigeria as well a Ghana; the lineup included drummer Louis Moholo trumpeter/flautist Mongezi Feza alto saxophonist Dudu Pukwana tenor saxophonist Bizo Mngqikana guitarist/bassist Fred Coker their chief songwriter and Terri Quaye — the first professional female congaist in the UK. Assagai issued just two highly-reguarded albums both in 1971 on Vertigo Records one of the few if not the only all-black band signed to that legendary rock label and this poster dates from that peak. While they broke up shortly after this gig the members went on to long careers in various other jazz and prog groups. A striking poster from this significant but poorly documented group.

1408419th century albumen photograph of the interior of Mosque of Omar Dome of the Rock and the Foundation Stone. 11" x 8.5". Unmounted. Image shows a view of the foundation stone in the foreground with the intricately decorated architecture of the dome in the background. The Mosque of Omar is located in Jerusalem and was built between 685-691 and is important for the Muslim Christian and Jewish faithes. The Foundation Stone the temple was built over bears great significance in the Abrahamic religions as the place where God created the world and the first human Adam.4 It is also believed to be the site where Abraham attempted to sacrifice his son and as the place where God's divine presence is manifested more than in any other place towards which Jews turn during prayer. The site's great significance for Muslims derives from traditions connecting it to the creation of the world and the belief that Muhammad's Night Journey to heaven started from the rock at the center of the structure. The Dome is located on the Haram al-Sharif an enormous open-air platform that now houses Al-Aqsa mosque madrasas and several other religious buildings. Few places are as holy for Christians Jews and Muslims as the Haram al-Sharif. It is the Temple Mount the site of the Jewish second temple which the Roman Emperor Titus destroyed in 70 CE while subduing the Jewish revolt; a Roman temple was later built on the site. The Temple Mount was abandoned in Late Antiquity. The photo shows the interior of the Mosque colonnades are seen in the photo are around the Rock and are clad in marble on their lower registers and their upper registers are adorned with mosaics.
