1748réf. 143711748. Mallet Allain Manesson. "Arabes" 1748 presents two male figures identified as Arabs through the conventions of European geographical and costume illustration derived from Mallet's Description de l'Univers. Mallet's original work first published in Paris in 1683 combined maps city views portraits and images of dress with accounts of the customs religions and governments attributed to different nations; its second volume treated Asia. The engraving records the visual vocabulary through which Arab clothing and appearance were presented to European readers within this encyclopedic geographical tradition. Mallet Allain Manesson. "Arabes." 1748. Engraving. Overall page 10" x 7.25"; image 5.5" x 7.5". Beneath a decorative banner lettered "Arabes" two standing men wear contrasting garments against a mountainous landscape. One wears a buttoned tunic overcoat pointed shoes and a large turban; he holds a decorative cane while resting his other hand at his belt. The second wears a decorated collared tunic beneath an overcoat pointed shoes and a tall head covering from which a long length of fabric descends. The paired figures allow differences in headwear garment ornament and accessories to be compared within a single composition. The plate derives from an illustrated geographical work conceived by Mallet a French military engineer and mathematics teacher whose Description de l'Univers organized contemporary geographical knowledge alongside images of the "divers habillemens" of different peoples. The "Arabes" composition therefore records an eighteenth-century European printed conception of Arab dress rather than serving as direct ethnographic documentation of a specific Arab population or locality. Overall very good condition. The combination of costume detail and explicit ethnic captioning documents how Arab peoples were visually categorized for European audiences in early modern geographical publishing. unknown books
1960réf. 144471960. Baltimore Sun photographic archive. Wirephoto showing Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser with Saudi royal leadership at an Arab summit conference during the 1960s a decade in which summit diplomacy became a principal forum for coordinating Arab policy on Israel Palestinian political organization regional security and disputes among Arab governments. Nasser convened the first formal Arab League summit in Cairo in January 1964; participating states included Saudi Arabia and the conference addressed the Jordan River dispute and plans for coordinated Arab military action. The supplied description identifies the second figure as the King of Saudi Arabia but does not provide a name or exact date so the individual monarch is not assigned here. Original black-and-white wirephoto measuring approximately 8.3 x 9.1 inches from the historical photographic archive of The Baltimore Sun. The image depicts Nasser with the Saudi leader during an Arab summit conference. Produced for newspaper use the photograph was electronically transmitted over telecommunications lines and reproduced at the receiving location allowing images of international political events to reach newspaper editorial offices rapidly. Such transmitted photographs formed part of the working visual record used by newspapers to illustrate foreign affairs coverage before digital distribution. The photograph preserves a contemporary press image from the period when Nasser used summit diplomacy to bring Arab heads of state into direct negotiations despite substantial political disagreements among their governments. The 1964 summit system for example brought together monarchies and republics around common regional questions even as relations among individual states remained strained. Watermark present; no additional condition defects are stated in the supplied description. unknown books
1890réf. 143771890. Saharan camel caravan circa 1890s records a group of approximately two dozen Arab men traveling with loaded camels across a desert landscape during the period of expanding European colonial control in North Africa. The image preserves specific evidence of overland travel: riders move together across open terrain several camels carry substantial loads of material goods and a man in the foreground rides with a small child. These details document the continued use of camel transport for people and goods in the Sahara during the late nineteenth century. Vintage photograph circa 1890s mounted on a split card. Approximately two dozen men appear with camels in the desert with the caravan extending across the composition. In the foreground one man carries a small child while riding; elsewhere bundles and other goods are secured to several camels. The photograph provides no visible information supplied here identifying the travelers precise location route photographer or purpose of the journey and the scene should therefore not be assigned to a particular caravan network or colonial territory without further evidence. The photograph dates from a period when European powers were extending or consolidating colonial authority across North Africa: France had ruled Algeria since the nineteenth-century conquest and established a protectorate over Tunisia in 1881 while European competition for territory continued across the region into the early twentieth century. Against that chronology the photograph records the people animals goods and transportation practices visible in a Saharan caravan without establishing a direct relationship between these particular travelers and a colonial administration. Mounted on a split card; overall very good condition. The foreground pairing of an adult rider and child combined with the heavily laden pack animals preserves unusually specific visual evidence of both human travel and the movement of goods across the late nineteenth-century Sahara. unknown books
