Show moreCollection documenting the 1911-1913 expeditions in Syria and south-eastern Anatolia of the German archaeologist and diplomat Max Freiherr von Oppenheim. The photographs were taken by the official members of the expedition, including his photographer Dr. Oswald Seemann, a physician by training, and Felix Langenegger, an engineer and long-time associate of Oppenheim. Most of the photographs show architectural subjects taken in wide variety of cities and archaeological sites, ranging from Aleppo to Mardin to Urfa. The present collection was probably assembled and retained by a member of Oppenheim's party, perhaps even Langenegger, or someone in his circle. Title and date devised by Library staff. Some photographs have contemporary pencil annotations on the verso, and some paper mounts come with pencil annotations.
