Show moreCollection of photographs issued by the Iraqi Development Board recording various subjects related to the modernization of the country, such as King Faisal II planting the first tree of a modern nursery, builders working to solve the housing crisis, a new cement factory at Sarchinar, the Dukan Dam, a modern bridge at Al-Hindiya, and the Warrar Regulator at Habbaniya on the Euphrates between Ramadi and Fallujah. The Iraqi Development Board embarked on its first program between 1951 and 1956 and initiated its second five-years program in 1955-1959. In March 1957, on the occasion of the Second Development Week, the board published a pamphlet summarizing the progress of the first phase.

Show morePasini was one of the most highly acclaimed orientalist painters working in Paris in the second half of the Nineteenth century. In 1855 the opportunity to travel to Arabia arose. At the height of the Crimean war, in an effort to counteract Russian influence in Persia, the diplomat Prosper Bourré led an official French mission to the court of Nasser al-Din Shah in Tehran. The written account was to be prepared by Joseph-Arthur, Comte de Gobineau (1816-1882); Pasini was invited on the journey to make the visual record. The mission crossed to Alexandria from Marseilles and embarked at Suez on the East Indiaman Victoria bound for Bushire. They put in at Jeddah (where they met Kemal Pasha, Guardian of the Holy Shrines at Mecca and Medina), then Aden, and Muscat (where they had an audience with the Sultan, Syed Said), before crossing the Gulf. From Bushire they travelled north to Shiraz, Isfahan, and Tehran. Pasini remained at the Shah's court, before returning to Paris in 1856. In 1859 Pasini published this album as pictorial record of the mission. Gobineau published his written account in the same year: Trois ans en Asie, de 1855 à 1858 (Paris: 1859. 8vo).
