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.

Show moreStreet view outside the Hamidiya, a government building constructed by Othman Pasha, General Governor of Hejaz (r. 1882-1886). The subject of this photograph is probably the same building identified in the drawing of a view inside the Masjid al-Haram (plate no. 2) as ‘front-side of the Hamidiya Palace’, indicating that the building – and therefore the viewpoint in this photograph – was probably situated south of the Mosque. The photograph was likely taken by the Meccan doctor and photographer al-Sayyid ʻAbd al-Ghaffar (active in 1880s) between 1886 and 1887. Title and date from item. Plate no. 4 in Bilder-Atlas zu Mekka (Haag : Martinus Nijhoff, 1888-1889). The plate is numbered (IV) and titled in German under the print.
