EDITORS COMMENTS
Distant Fronts, In Hejaz: One of the Sons of the King of Hejaz - Emir Faisal, 1917" is an evocative photograph capturing a moment of history during the First World War. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, depicts Emir Faisal I bin Hussein bin Ali Al Hashimi, one of the sons of the King of Hejaz, in the midst of a discussion with three other men, all dressed in traditional Arabian attire. Emir Faisal I, who later became the King of Iraq, is seen here under his tent, wearing a long, flowing white robe and headdress, which is typical of the Arabian Peninsula during the early 20th century. The photograph was likely taken in Hejaz, which is now part of Saudi Arabia, during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire. The scene is intimate, with the four men gathered around a low table, deep in conversation. The interior of the tent is adorned with colorful textiles and patterned cushions, adding to the sense of Middle Eastern culture and tradition. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the Arab leaders during this pivotal period in history, as they fought for their independence from foreign rule. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East and the enduring fashion traditions that continue to influence the region today. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the clothing and customs of the time, as well as the political and military events that shaped the Middle East during the First World War.
