Show more“Pictures from Mecca” is the photographic portfolio published in 1889 by the Dutch orientalist Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, as an annex to the “Pictorial Atlas of Mecca”, the Atlas accompanying the 1888 2-volume publication “Mecca”. In these texts, he reconstructs the history of the Holy City and on the origins of Islam, early traditions and practices, and the first Islamic communities. The second volume, translated into English in 1931 as “Mecca in the Latter Part of the 19th Century”, contains many details of daily life in Islamic culture and deals with the Indonesian Muslim colony at Mecca. While serving as a lecturer at the University of Leiden between 1880 and 1889, Snouck Hurgronje visited Arabia from 1884 to 1885, stopping at Mecca and he was the first Western to take photographs of the Holy City. From 1890 to 1906 Snouck Hurgronje was professor of Arabic at Batavia, Java, and, as a government adviser, he originated and developed the Dutch colonial policy toward Islam. Though Snouck Hurgronje remained a colonial adviser until 1933, he returned in 1906 to the Netherlands, where he was professor of Arabic and Islamic institutions at the University of Leiden until his death. The volume contains 20 collotype prints pasted onto card and includes a panoramic view of the Holy City, images of places related to the hajj (Mina valley, Mount Arafat), as well as a picture of the Ibn Abbas Mosque in Taif. Snouck Hurgronje decided to publish an annex to his first photographic portfolio after receiving a letter with new photographs from his doctor in Mecca, whom he taught the art of photography. The photographs had descriptions in Arabic and were signed “Photography by al-Sayyid ʻAbd al-Ghaffar, doctor in Mecca”. Al-Sayyid ʻAbd al-Ghaffar (active in 1880s) was an Indian physician as a renowned Meccan photographer can be found in the “Journal de Voyages” (1895) by French author Gustave Regelsperger (1856 – 1940) and most importantly in the account published in 1895 “The Guide to the Hajj” by the Egyptian army engineer Muhammad Sadiq Bey (1832 – 1902), who took the first photographs of Medina in 1861 and Mecca between 1880 and 1881 and whose photographs were included in Snouck’s “Pictorial Atlas of Mecca”. In his account, the Egyptian military engineer describes ʻAbd al-Ghaffar Efendi as a famous Indian doctor and photographer. Most of the scholars agree that the photographs reproduced in this portfolio were taken by al-Sayyid ʻAbd al-Ghaffar and that Snouck, both for aesthetic and scientific reasons, erased the name of the person who had taken the pictures as well as the pictures’ titles and headings.
