Dr Hisham Khatib has spent almost 40 years amassing the vast and
historically valuable collection of representations of the Near
East featured in this book. The artworks included here (paintings,
prints, maps, books, photographs, and even postcards) depict the
Holy Land during the Ottoman period (1517-1917). The stunning
images are accompanied by an engaging and deeply informative text.
