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.

198722364EGarden City: Doubleday 1987. First Edition First Printing. Signed and inscribed by the author Phyllis Gates to her mother who is referenced in the first chapter ‘My Life Before Rock’. Inscribed: “To Mom Thanks for all your support! I love you Phyllis 4/24/87â€. Illustrated. Near fine copy with some minor handling in a very good dust jacket with some small chips and tears. Gates tells the story of her marriage to actor Rock Hudson whom she met in 1954 and married in November 1955 shortly after Hudson finished filming Giant. They separated a few years later in 1957 with their divorce being finalized in 1958. Rumors of Hudson’s publicly hidden homosexuality as well as the reports of Gates being a closeted lesbian circulated in the media primarily in journalist Robert Hoffer’s biography ‘The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson’ and in the gay and lesbian news magazine The Advocate. Gates 1925 - 2006 steadfastly and publicly maintained that her love of Hudson was real and denied that she was a lesbian. Rock Hudson 1925 - 1985 was the first major public figure to announce that he had AIDS. He is best remembered for his films Giant 1956 Pillow Talk 1959 Come September 1961 and on television including starring in McMillan & Wife with Susan Saint James and on Dynasty as the character Daniel Reece.
