Show moreStreet view depicting the main guardhouse or police station in Mecca, described as being built by Osman Pasha, Hejaz military commander and governor (r. 1882-1886). The building features the Ottoman star and crescent symbols on the cornice and what appears to be a royal tughra (calligraphic monogram) at the center of the pediment. Ottoman soldiers, wearing fezzes stand in front. Several figures appear in small groups on the street in the foreground along with three donkeys and one horse. The plate was probably based on a photograph by the Egyptian army engineer Muhammad Sadiq Bey (1832 – 1902) in 1885. Title and date from item. Plate no. 6 in Bilder-Atlas zu Mekka (Haag : Martinus Nijhoff, 1888-1889). The plate is numbered (VI) and titled in German under the image.
