1926Best.-Nr. 144221926. Gröber Karl. Bird's Eye View of Mecca 1926. Original copperplate photogravure depicting Mecca Islam's holiest city and the destination of the annual Hajj pilgrimage. The elevated view records the historic urban setting of Mecca home to the Masjid al-Haram the Sacred or Grand Mosque and the Kaaba toward which Muslims worldwide direct their daily prayers. Published in 1926 the image dates from the early rule of Abdulaziz Ibn Saud over the Hejaz following his conquest of Mecca in 1924 and assumption of the title King of the Hejaz in 1926. The illustration preserves a photographic view of the holy city during a period of political transition decades before the extensive urban redevelopment and mosque expansions of the later twentieth century. Gröber Karl photographer. Bird's Eye View of Mecca. 1926. Original copperplate photogravure after a photograph by Gröber published as an illustration in the first edition of a 1926 book containing his text and photogravures. Sheet measures approximately 8.25" x 10.25" with a printed area of approximately 8.5" x 6.25". The elevated perspective presents a panoramic view of Mecca recording the city's buildings and urban topography. The copperplate photogravure process reproduces the tonal gradations and architectural detail of the original photograph. Mecca had been under Ottoman sovereignty until the Arab Revolt of 1916 after which it formed part of the Hashemite Kingdom of the Hejaz before coming under Saudi control in 1924. Gröber's 1926 publication belongs to this transitional period in the city's modern history. The original photogravure provides a contemporary visual record of Mecca before the major architectural alterations and expansions undertaken in subsequent decades. unknown

Best.-Nr. 052110N. p. : N. p. 18-19th century. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Original b/w lithographer print of Medina. 215x175 cm. In Arabic. 1 p. A FINE LITHOGRAPHED MEDINA Medina al-Munawwara ali sâhibhâ afzal al-tahiyya. It shows Medina city with its building and walls besides its environment. Medina is the capital of the Al-Madinah Region in Saudi Arabia. At the city's heart is al-Masjid an-Nabawi 'The Prophet's Mosque' which is the burial place of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Medina is one of the three holiest cities in Islam the other two being Mecca and Jerusalem. Medina was Muhammad's destination in his Hijrah migration from Makkah and became the capital of a rapidly increasing Muslim Empire under Muhammad's leadership serving as the power base of Islam and where Muhammad's Ummah Community composed of both locals and immigrants from Muhammad's original home of Mecca developed. Medina is home to three prominent mosques namely al-Masjid an-Nabawi Quba Mosque and Masjid al-Qiblatayn 'The mosque of the two Qiblas'. Muslims believe that the chronologically final surahs of the Quran were revealed to Muhammad in Medina and are called Medinan surahs in contrast to the earlier Meccan surahs. N. p. (18-19th century) paperback
1926Best.-Nr. 144231926. Gröber Karl. Two Views of the Mosque at Mecca 1926. Pair of original copperplate photogravures depicting the Masjid al-Haram the Sacred or Grand Mosque in Mecca Islam's holiest city and the destination of the annual Hajj pilgrimage. The mosque surrounds the Kaaba toward which Muslims worldwide turn in daily prayer. Published in 1926 the illustrations date from the early period of Saudi rule over Mecca following the city's conquest by Abdulaziz Ibn Saud in 1924. The two views record the mosque from ground-level and elevated perspectives preserving photographic documentation of the sacred precinct before the extensive architectural expansions of the later twentieth century. Gröber Karl photographer. Two Views of the Mosque at Mecca. 1926. Two original copperplate photogravures after photographs by Gröber published in the first edition of a 1926 book containing his text and photographic illustrations. Each sheet measures approximately 8.25" x 10.25" with a printed area of approximately 6.25" x 8.25". The first photogravure presents a ground-level view of the mosque recording its architecture from within the surrounding urban setting. The second provides a bird's-eye view of the mosque showing the sacred complex from an elevated perspective. Both illustrations reproduce the tonal gradations and architectural details of the original photographs through the copperplate photogravure process. The illustrations were published during a decisive period in the modern history of Mecca. Following the collapse of Ottoman authority in the Hejaz during the First World War the city came under Hashemite rule before its capture by Ibn Saud in 1924. In 1926 Ibn Saud assumed the title King of the Hejaz incorporating Mecca into the expanding Saudi state. The paired views record the mosque's architectural setting during this transition preceding the major expansion and redevelopment campaigns undertaken from the mid-twentieth century onward. Both original photogravures are in excellent condition presenting complementary perspectives of the Grand Mosque as reproduced in 1926. unknown
