FIRST EDITION. THE RARE SUPPLEMENT TO MEKKA INCLUDING SOME OF THE EARLIEST PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE HOLY CITY. Following the publication and success of Mekka 'Hurgronje received a letter from his doctor in Makkah, whom he had taught the art of photography. The letter contained new photographs of the hajj which were of such great interest that he decided in 1889 to publish his Bilder aus Mekka as an annexe to it... Hurgronje has given us a rare and unique archive of photographs of the Hijaz, and of Makkah in particular' ' (Badr el-Hage, p.45-46). Badr el-Hage, Saudi Arabia Caught in Time, Reading: 1997.
