About This Item

ca. 1910. Oblong Quarto. 28 leaves. With 23 gelatin silver print photographs, each approx. 9x14 cm (3 ? x 5 ? in). Period brown gilt tooled half morocco with brown cloth boards. A very good album. The strong images of this album show Eastern Ethiopia from Dire Dawa to Harar and include the "Head of the Pass to Dire Dawa, "Lake Haramaya," "A Road" [to Harar], "Huts," camels and herders, and eighteen views of Harar including panoramas, "town from N.E., "West Gate," market scenes, British official on horseback (Consul?), sporting a pith helmet and uniform (likely the compiler of the album) and "Consular Hut from West." "Harar lost some of its commercial importance with the creation of the Addis Ababa - Djibouti Railway, initially intended to run via the city but diverted north of the mountains between Harar and the Awash River to save money. As a result of this, Dire Dawa was founded in 1902 as New Harar"(Wikipedia).This is a rare early and interesting photo documentation of the until about 1875 "Forbidden City" of Harar.
