Lehnert and Landrock heliogravures

  From the pages of the National Geographic magazine and
picture postcards on sale in European kiosks nearly one hundred years ago, to the black and white prints that sell year in and year out at the Sherif Street bookstore that still bears their name, the photographs of Lehnert & Landrock sustain a vanishing romantic image of the Arab world.

  These authentic photo lithographs ("heliogravures" or photogravures") measure approx. 9½ by 12 inches (23 x 30 cm) and are generally sepia-toned, but many have been coloured by a seemingly hand-tinted photo process. Several larger desert panorama scenes are also available, measuring approx. 12 x 23 inches (30 x 60 cm.)

  It is believed the glass printing plates for these amazing images were destroyed during the American & British bombardment of Germany in World War II.
