The print is likely to have been drawn after a photograph - or a series of photographs - of the same view taken by the Meccan doctor and photographer al-Sayyid ʻAbd al-Ghaffar (active in 1880s) between 1886 and 1887. Mentioned in the image are the office of the Qadi, the fortress on Jabal Hindi (or Quaiqian Mountain), the building housing the Zamzam well, the Minbar, the Maqam Hanafi, the Maqam Malik and Maqam Hanbali. An additional note states that the steps to the Kaaba and the Maqam Ibrahim, which is also the Maqam Shaf'i, are obscured from view by the Zamzam building. Title and date from item.

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.
