Title: [Collection of twelve photographs, capturing daily life in Saudi Arabia in the 1950s].[Saudi Arabia or Kuwait], 1954. Ca. 28.8 x 22.8 cm (sheet size: ca. 35.3 x 27.8 cm). Twelve photographic prints, all signed and dated. Housed in clear plastic folder.
Description: [12] photographs.Remarkable collection of twelve photographs, showing daily life of a community in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait in a time before oil wealth. The photographed people are likely all members of the same family. The moving images show the children engaged in wool spinning, playing music on homemade instruments, or posing in front of a wooden shed with their mother. The men are shown playing music and engaged in falconry. The beautifully captured portraits truly offer a glimpse into the lives and personalities of these people. All photographs are signed and dated by hand. They must have been made by a skilled photographer, but the signature is unfortunately unclear. The corners of some of the photographs are very slightly creased, otherwise in excellent condition.
