Description
Jerusalem, Palestine: F. Vester & Co., The American Colony Stores, 1920. Softcover. Near Fine. First edition. Quarto. Printed title page (with text of Psalm 23 on verso), and 13 original hand-tinted sepia photographs of Palestinian shepherds mounted on cardboard leaves. Each photograph is accompanied by a tissue guard sheet with a printed verse from Psalm 23. Leather cord-bound album “bound in sheep skin prepared in a Palestinian tannery.” The edges of the sheep skin are lightly rubbed, else fine. Laid in are two string-bound typescript sheets titled: “Shepherd Life in Palestine”. A beautiful album of photographs with an additional supplemental text, produced by the American Colony in Jerusalem. The store was a charitable, cooperative enterprise managed by members of the Colony. A scarce album “of gorgeous hand-tinted sepia photographs … of lush romantic Palestinian landscapes that followed both painterly and popular culture artistic traditions.” (Barbara Bair. *The American Colony Photography Department*).
