Saudi Arabia by the First Photographers comprises an assembly of outstanding early photographs, some never previously published, and several more lost to sight for many decades, covering the period between the 1860s and 1950s. These 80 years saw the creation by Ibn Saud, out of the fragmented regions here portrayed, of the new Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Here is an extraordinary visual record of the time before the old way of life was swept away. It draws on all known photographers in the 1860s into the second quarter of the 20th century.
