This image depicts a historical site, likely of religious significance, set atop an elevated terrain. A prominent feature is the mosque with its towering minaret and domes, which suggests Islamic architecture. The complex appears to be surrounded by fortified walls, indicative of either defensive purposes or status symbolism during its time.

The surrounding landscape shows arid conditions, characterized by sparse vegetation and rocky ground. There are several people visible in the scene: one person is walking along a dirt path leading towards the mosque, while others appear further down the hillside, which has a rough terrain with uneven paths cutting through it.

A signpost stands at the forefront of the photo on what looks like a roadside or pathway that leads to the site. The overall atmosphere evokes a sense of historical significance and cultural heritage amidst an arid landscape, potentially indicative of locations in regions such as Mesopotamia during its ancient history.

The image depicts an aerial view of a densely built urban area with numerous buildings, many featuring traditional architectural elements. The structures vary in design and size but predominantly consist of rectangular forms with flat roofs or sloped terraces. Some buildings have prominent arched doorways and windows, indicative of historical Islamic architecture.

In the foreground, there's an open courtyard enclosed by low walls, which could be part of a larger complex like a mosque or madrasa (educational institution). The area is populated with smaller courtyards surrounded by higher walls. A tree stands out among these structures, providing contrast to the built environment.

The middle ground shows more buildings and streets, creating a layered urban landscape that extends towards the horizon where modern industrial elements such as chimneys or towers can be seen against an expansive sky. The color palette is warm with varying shades of brown and beige dominating the scene, suggesting either the time of day—likely midday due to the brightness—or the weather conditions.

There's no visible activity on the streets from this vantage point, which could imply a quiet moment or that the photo was taken during non-peak hours. The overall impression is one of an ancient city with a rich architectural heritage amidst modern development.

The image is a black and white photograph capturing a bustling street scene. In the foreground, there are several individuals in traditional Arab dress, including headscarves and robes, walking or standing near an older model car with chrome details. One man stands prominently beside the vehicle, holding onto its door handle; he's dressed formally in a light-colored suit jacket, dark trousers, white shirt, and hat, indicating possible official status.

Behind this group of people is a large crowd dispersed across the street, suggesting some sort of public event or gathering. The background features buildings with various architectural designs, including balconies and windows that suggest urban surroundings. Some individuals in the crowd are wearing headgear indicative of Islamic culture, while others have different styles, hinting at diverse cultural influences.

A notable figure is a man seated on what appears to be a cart attached to the car; he's dressed distinctively with an ornate scarf around his neck and holds a cane or walking stick. His relaxed posture contrasts with the movement in the crowd behind him. The overall atmosphere seems lively, possibly celebrating a significant event as suggested by captions mentioning King Hussein, Glubb Pasha (likely a reference to T. E. Lawrence), and Arab revolt anniversaries.

The photograph carries historical context and is credited to Matson Photo Service, likely indicating [...]

The image depicts a formal gathering of individuals from various backgrounds, dressed in traditional and military attire. The setting appears to be indoors with simple furnishings like chairs, tables, and floor lamps visible. Some people wear white robes and headgear indicative of Islamic religious officials or dignitaries, while others are clad in uniforms suggesting they may represent the Arab Legion. One individual is bowing respectfully towards another who stands prominently among them. The overall atmosphere suggests a significant event with symbolic gestures such as standing attention and respectful greetings signifying honor and respect for those present.

The image depicts an architectural structure with a blend of historical and religious significance. In the foreground, there is an open courtyard paved with stone slabs, showcasing signs of wear which suggests age or heavy use over time.

Two prominent domed structures rise from either end of what appears to be a large rectangular building constructed with dark brown brickwork. These domes have iron grills on their top and small windows at the base level, possibly serving as ventilation for storage below or simply decorative elements typical in Islamic architecture.

The central focus is an older stone minaret tower, featuring weathered stonework indicative of considerable age, likely centuries old. The design includes a pyramidal roof with a weathervane on top and smaller dome-like structures at the base, characteristic of many historic mosques or religious institutions found across the Middle East.

The background shows part of another stone structure with similar architectural style to that in the foreground, suggesting this could be within a walled complex like an old city's fortress. The sky is overcast with white clouds against a pale blue backdrop and there are modern street lamps visible on the left side, indicating contemporary maintenance or use of these historic sites.

The image appears aged as if taken several decades ago based on its graininess and color saturation; it carries historical weight, likely dati [...]

The image depicts a wide, panoramic view of an ancient city with dense clusters of buildings spread across the landscape. The foreground is dominated by barren fields and patches of vegetation on undulating terrain that appears arid or semi-arid.

In the mid-ground, various religious structures are visible: prominent among them is a large white-domed building which stands out due to its size compared to other surrounding architecture. Its structure suggests it could be an important cultural or historical site, possibly related to major religions given such domes' common symbolic association with sacred spaces in Islamic and Christian faiths.

Additionally, there are smaller religious structures, including one that resembles a traditional Eastern Orthodox church with distinctive onion-shaped cupolas, indicating the presence of diverse religious communities.

The background reveals more densely packed buildings, hinting at an urban sprawl extending towards the horizon under a clear sky. The overall impression is that of a historically rich and culturally complex cityscape, likely Jerusalem given the historical context provided by "Jerusalem from Bethany Road between 1948 and 1958."

The image depicts a richly decorated religious shrine, featuring intricate patterns and ornate calligraphy. The dominant colors are golds, blues, greens, and purples with embossed textures that suggest the use of metal leaf or similar materials for embellishment.

At the top center hangs a rectangular banner in white fabric adorned with Arabic script, possibly indicating its sacred significance. Below this, on what appears to be an altar-like platform, there are two small golden-colored bowls supported by slender stands, alongside another item reflecting light which could suggest it is made of metal or glass.

The background showcases the shrine's intricate designs: green and purple chevron patterns that frame a central field with Arabic calligraphy in gold hues. The script likely contains verses from the Quran or other religious texts, serving as blessings or prayers for those who visit.

To the left side on the ground lies an object partially obscured by another layer of fabric; its details are not clear due to this partial obstruction and angle at which it's presented.

Below all these items is a patterned rug with floral motifs in muted colors like pinkish-purple, beige, green. The lower portion also reveals more draped fabrics or garments contributing to the overall sacred ambiance of the scene.

This photograph was likely taken during an exploration related to biblical sites, as suggested by references such as 'Ro [...]

The image depicts a serene and picturesque scene of an ancient architectural complex, possibly from the Middle Eastern region. It features a prominent white stone church with distinctive religious iconography, including crosses on its facade and windows adorned with golden embellishments that suggest Christian influence.

Surrounding this central structure are remnants of historical buildings and fortifications in various states of ruin or preservation. To the right stands an imposing dome-covered tower, possibly part of another mosque or a minaret, indicating Islamic presence nearby. The landscape is dotted with sparse trees and shrubs, enhancing the arid ambiance typical of desert regions.

The overall composition conveys a sense of historical continuity amidst natural beauty, suggesting that this location has witnessed centuries of cultural exchange and religious interaction.

https://www.loc.gov/item/2019705855/

The image displays a segment of an intricate mosaic pattern, likely part of the historic Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. The design is rich with geometric and floral motifs set against a background that combines deep blue, white, gold, and hints of green tiles. These patterns are framed by bands of alternating colors, creating a rhythmic visual flow across the surface.

Several arched windows or openings can be seen, which allow light to filter into the space they occupy. The craftsmanship suggests an Islamic architectural influence, characterized by its elaborate tilework and use of Arabic calligraphy within some sections. This particular photograph appears aged with a yellowish tint indicative of vintage film photography from around 1950-1977.

There is no visible human activity or modern elements in the frame, emphasizing the timeless beauty and historical significance of this architectural marvel.

https://fotografia.cultura.gov.it/iccd/item/FFC029629

The image depicts an illustrated postcard from 1898, showcasing the Torino Mission of the Ottoman Empire. It features a vibrant and detailed depiction of architectural structures resembling mosques with ornate domes, arches, and minarets typical to Islamic architecture. The buildings are painted in shades of reds, pinks, blues, greens, and yellow against a blue sky background with palm trees suggesting an arid environment.

A green plant is partially framing the left side of the image, adding contrast to the colorful scene. A crowd of people, possibly pilgrims or locals, gathers outside one of the mosques near what appears to be a gate leading into another building complex within this mission site. The postcard carries inscriptions including "ARTE SACRA" and "MISSIONI DI TERRA SANTA," indicating religious significance and connection with holy missions.

There are handwritten inscriptions on the bottom right corner, likely personal annotations or signatures from someone named Gigi who visited Torino in 1898. The date written is '2-6-x-48,' which could be shorthand for February sixth of a year ending in eight.

1,200 Afghan #refugee families returned home on Sunday, marking a noteworthy shift as many seek to reintegrate into their homeland.

Aleppo from castle [between 1898 and 1946] 1 negative : glass, dry plate ; 10 x 12 in.

#Aleppo #Islamic #theMiddleEast #Syria #photography

https://www.loc.gov/item/2019698853/

This black and white aerial photograph depicts a densely packed urban area with numerous buildings closely situated to one another. The architecture suggests an older, possibly historical cityscape, characterized by rectangular blocks of buildings with flat roofs. There are notable structures that appear larger or differently designed than the surrounding constructions, potentially indicating public or religious significance such as mosques or churches.

In the foreground, a street winds through what seems like lower residential zones, and open spaces can be seen alongside it, possibly gardens or small communal plots. To one side of this area is an elevated ground leading up to higher-lying buildings with domes that are indicative of Islamic architecture. The city spreads out towards the horizon under a hazy sky, suggesting either early morning mist or arid atmospheric conditions typical for regions like those in the Middle East.

The photograph carries signs of age and wear, including creases on its top edge, hinting at its historical value as part of the Eric and Edith Matson Photographs collection. The image appears to be from a time period between 1898 and 1946, likely capturing life in Aleppo during that era before extensive modernization or conflicts altered its appearance.

The absence of people suggests either an elevated vantage point or timing when the streets were not bustling with activity, possibly emphasizi [...]

The image depicts a historical black and white photograph of the Plain of Rephaim from Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem. The view shows an expansive urban landscape with ancient stone walls, structures, and a prominent minaret-like tower indicative of Islamic architecture. A busy street scene unfolds below, bustling with people walking or standing around various small shops and market stalls lined along its length. There are horse-drawn carriages suggesting the era is likely late 19th to early 20th century. The background reveals hills and a wide expanse leading towards Bethlehem's town center. Annotations in French indicate different street names, such as "La Route de Bethléem," which translates to "The Road to Bethlehem." This historical snapshot captures daily life within an urban setting surrounded by ancient fortifications and offers insight into the architectural styles of that period.

#Naure #Islamic #MiddleEastern #Emeric #EdithMatson #Damascus #Syria #Ḥamāh #photography

https://www.loc.gov/item/2019698579/

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an ancient watermill alongside a river. The mill has large, circular stone wheels that are partially submerged in the flowing water, indicating its use for generating power or processing grain. Adjacent to the milling building, which features arched doorways and windows with protective bars, there's another structure topped by a dome-like roof resembling an Islamic architectural style commonly found in historical Middle Eastern regions.

The surrounding environment includes lush greenery with trees lining both sides of the riverbank, suggesting that this location is near nature. The water appears calm despite some flow from small cascades or rapids visible on its surface. There's no indication of modern development around the site, which gives it a timeless quality as if frozen in history.

The photograph has an edge-to-edge border and seems to be mounted or framed for display purposes. A reference number "691e" is printed at the top right corner within the image frame, likely indicating its cataloging information within a collection of photographs. The photo's monochromatic tone adds to the nostalgic atmosphere and emphasizes textures such as stone masonry on the buildings and river water ripples.

The context provided indicates that this photograph could be part of an archive from Emeric and Edith Matson regarding their travels, specifically related to nature (as deno [...]

Typical street scene, with overhanging balconies, Baghdad 1932. 1 photographic print.

#Baghdad #theMatsonArchive #Islamic #theMiddleEast #European #1930-1940 #Baghdad #Streets #photography

https://www.loc.gov/item/2003653628/

The image depicts a bustling street scene from Baghdad in 1932, captured by the Matson Archive. It features several individuals dressed in traditional attire walking along a narrow urban pathway lined with buildings and overhanging balconies that cast shadows on the pavement below.

In the foreground, we see three figures wearing cloaks or long robes indicative of Islamic dress code, suggesting this scene is set during a time when such garments were common. Their heads are mostly covered except for their faces, emphasizing modesty as part of cultural attire in many regions of the Middle East at that period.

On the left side of the image stands a horse-drawn carriage or cart being operated by an individual not fully visible within this frame; only parts of their body and possibly reins or harnesses can be seen. This mode of transportation adds to the historical context, suggesting pre-motorized travel was still in use during that era.

The architecture includes buildings with multiple levels featuring balconies supported by ornate railings which could suggest European influences on local architectural styles typical for Baghdad's diverse cultural amalgamation. The contrast between light and shadow is striking; it highlights textures like the wooden balustrades, rough plaster walls, or stone paths indicative of an older city.

The text at the bottom indicates that this image represents "Baghdad. Typical Street Scene. With [...]

#Haifa #Europe #Baghdad #Jerusalem #PhotoDepartment #MiddleEastern #Islamic #Feisal #safetyfilmnegatives #photography

https://www.loc.gov/item/2019704569/

The image depicts a bustling public gathering, likely during the 1930s based on historical context. It is a black and white photograph with high contrast, showcasing numerous individuals walking or standing in what appears to be an urban setting.

In the background stands prominent architecture suggestive of Middle Eastern design, including buildings with arched windows, domes, and spires that are characteristic of Islamic-inspired structures. One such building features multiple archways leading into a larger complex, while another has a clock tower-like structure, indicating it may serve as a significant public or administrative edifice.

The crowd is diverse in terms of gender and attire, suggesting the event holds cultural significance for various segments of society. Men are dressed in traditional Middle Eastern garments such as long tunics (jubbas), headscarves known as ghutras or keffiyehs, and some wear hats like fezzes or turbans.

The photo has a large white overexposed section on the right side, obscuring part of the scene. This stark contrast between light and dark gives the image an almost surreal quality, emphasizing texture and form while diminishing detail in shadowed areas.

There's also text at the top left corner indicating "1938" with additional writing that is not entirely legible due to photo condition or resolution limitations.

Overall, this photograph captures a moment of historical significance, [...]

Texas governor designates Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR as terror organisations

#Texas Governor #GregAbbott on Tuesday announced that he is designating the Muslim Brotherhood as well as the #CouncilOnAmericanIslamicRelations (#CAIR) - the largest civil liberties group for American #Muslims - as both foreign terrorist organisations and transnational criminal organisations.
As a result, both groups would be barred "from purchasing or acquiring land" in the state of Texas, Abbott said.
The proclamation gives the state's attorney general leeway to sue the groups accordingly.
