SADIQ BEY, Muhammad, Christiaan SNOUCK HURGRONJE and Al-Sayyid ‘Abd al-GHAFFÂR.

[5 photographic lantern slides of Mecca and Medina (silver gelatin glass positives), taken in the years 1880 to 1889].Stuttgart, Lichtbilderverlag Theodor Benzinger, [ca. 1910]. 5 glass positive lantern slides (8.5 x 10 cm), each with a black paper mask, paper tape around the edges, a letterpress slip at the foot giving the publisher's name and city, and a slip at the head with the manuscript title. Kept in a contemporary purpose-made wooden box with brass fittings, with the word "Mekka" on the top of the hinged lid.

Five of the earliest and best photographs of Mecca and Medina, beautifully preserved as silver gelatin glass plates, including the first photograph of the Ka'ba in Mecca's Masjid al-Haram (Great Mosque). Two of the photographs were taken by the first person to photograph Mecca and Medina, the Egyptian Colonel Muhammad Sadiq Bey (1832-1902), who made them in 1880 for the Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamid II. The others were taken by the first European to photograph Mecca, Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, and Al-Sayyid 'Abd al-Ghaffâr, who worked closely with him. Snouck Hurgronje (1857-1936), one of the greatest pioneering Dutch Arabists, converted to Islam and lived in Mecca from January to about July 1885. The photographs by these three men are best known and most often reproduced from the published collotype facsimiles, and the rare surviving early albumin prints are usually faded and often otherwise in bad condition. The present five plates, sold as lantern slides for magic lantern presentations, are therefore of the greatest importance as well-preserved high quality images of these famous photographs, providing the best early images of the mosques of Mecca and Medina. All five slides are in very good condition, with only a bit of dust and an occasional smudge on the glass. They show:1) The Masjid al-Haram in Mecca (the Great Mosque)2) A closer view of the Ka'ba in Mecca3) A portrait of an unidentified Mu'ezzin in Mecca4) A portrait of an unidentified East Indian pilgrim5) The al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina (the Prophet's Mosque)l Cf. D. v.d. Wal, Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje (2011); J. J. Witkam, new introduction to the 2007 reprint of the 1931 English translation of Hurgronje, Mekka.

SNOUCK HURGRONJE, Christiaan [and Al-Sayyid 'Abd AL-GHAFFAR (photographer)].

Bilder-atlas zu Mekka.The Hague, Martinus Nijhoff and Het Koninklijk Instituut voor de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde van Nederlandsch-Indië, 1888. Folio. With 65 mounted collotype photographs, 6 toned lithographic plates (1 folding, 5 full-page), 4 full-page chromolithographic plates, and a letterpress table of contents. The plates are kept in the original portfolio of quarter dark brown cloth, beige printed paper sides, and a closing tie in the middle of the fore edge.

[1], 40 ll.First edition of a complete set of 40 plates in the original portfolio, including 65 beautiful photographs, which are some of the earliest ever taken of the city of Mecca. They were made by Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje (1857-1936), a famous Dutch scholar of Oriental languages and culture, and his companion Al-Sayyid 'Abd al-Ghaffar (19th century), who is recognised as the first Meccan photographer. Snouck Hurgronje lived in Mecca for five months in 1885, and was the first non-Muslim to visit the city outside of the Hajj. The photographs were taken during this time and offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the Meccan people in the late 19th century.The photographs and lithographic plates show, among other scenes, various buildings in Mecca, including the Kaaba and Al Hamidiyah palace. The work originally accompanied two text volumes, containing a historical survey of Mecca and a description of daily life in the city, which are not included here. However, the plate volume is in itself complete.Snouck Hurgronje studied theology, Hebrew and Arabic at the University of Leiden and wrote his dissertation about the Hajj. In 1884 and 85, he had the opportunity to travel to the Middle East and Mecca. During his travels, Snouck Hurgronje took many pictures of the holy city and its inhabitants, which made him the first western photographer in the city. In 1888, he published two volumes in German titled Mekka describing his travels, to which Bilder-atlas zu Mekka was added in the same year, and another atlas volume, Bilder aus Mekka, in 1889. For many years, both the text and atlas volumes were one of the most important sources on the subject available in the west.The portfolio has been re-backed, the boards are somewhat soiled and browned. The leaves that the photographs are mounted on are somewhat browned, but the photographs themselves are in excellent condition.l Cf.
