The Middle East played a critical role in the development of photography as a new technology and an art form. Likewise, photography was instrumental in cultivating and maintaining Europe's distinctively Orientalist vision of the Middle East. This book explores the interplay between 19th-century photography and Europe's vision of the Middle East.
