Product Description
Review
'it is immediately apparent that Beyond the River is a specialist work, in particular a visual treasure trove for anyone of archaeological inclinations- and, one might add, including the industrial archaeology of bygone photographic technology….this elegant production is uncompromisingly a reference book for scholars or expert amateurs. Such types will undoubtedly thrill to the visual revelations contained within its covers.' --Ramsay Wood in 'PEQ: Palestine Exploration Quarterly' July 2008.
Product Description
During the 19th and early 20th century, the rugged, mountainous land through which the River Jordan flows, was a region of untouched beauty and deeply held tribal traditions. Beyond the River gathers over 200 black-and-white photographs of Transjordan from the collections of the Palestine Exploration Fund in London, taken during the dying days of the Ottoman Empire, through the First World War, and the establishment of the Hashemite Emirate of Jordan in 1921 from which the modern Kingdom evolved. These beautiful images of the peoples, monuments, and landscapes of Transjordan, capture the powerful spirit of the place, and provide an unsurpassed documentation of the region's archaeological heritage, and a unique visual record of a crucial moment in Levantine history. The pictures are set in context with an introductory text and detailed captions, researched and written by the distinguished Jordanian historian, Dr. Raouf Sa'd Abujaber, and archaeologist and Curator of the PEF's collections, Felicity Cobbing.
