It traces changes in photographic technology and aesthetic style by decade, while placing significant events and social and religious practices within the history of the medium. The book also considers Western fascination with Eastern customs and dress, as expressed by writers and artists including Flaubert and J.E. Lewis, and photographers such as Roger Fenton and Charles Nègre. | Alongside evocative, sometimes unrealistic portrayals of people from the Maghreb and the Levant, the study examines social documentary photography. It explores links between photographers and painters, including the reported use of an Abdullah Frères photograph from Topkapi Palace in Constantinople as a source for Jean-Léon Gérôme's *The Snake Charmer*. More than 500 illustrations feature work by over 90 photographers, as well as stamps, logos, numbering styles and signatures that support the attribution of previously anonymous works. (MP). …
