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).

Show morePoster by the the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief was established in 1915 with the cooperation of the United States Department of State, for the purpose of providing humanitarian relief to Armenians forcibly deported from Anatolia to other parts of the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The Ottoman parliament passed a law by which privately collected funds from the United States could be distributed to displaced Armenians via the U.S. embassy in Constantinople. This poster, showing a woman carrying a baby on her back surrounded by the rubble of destroyed buildings, was issued by the committee to solicit funds from the public. The poster identifies Armenia, Greece, Syria, and Persia as areas of need. After World War I, the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief was given a charter by the U.S. Congress and changed its name to the American Committee for Relief in the Near East. The organization was credited with caring for 132,000 Armenian orphans in Tbilisi, Constantinople, Beirut, Damascus, Jerusalem, and other locations in the Near East.
