"Costumes of the Holy Land" by Susan Southby
This offer is for a complete set of 6 prints of drawings of Arab Women, drawn in the 1940s and prints published in 1953 by Dar Al-Maaref of Beirut, only 250 Sets were published numbered in English, this is set # 250, and was published as a book entitled "Costumes of the Holy Land". There were only 3,080 published in 1953, mostly in Arabic. To my knowledge and research, this is probably the only complete set, part of the cover is missing, available today for sale, my research found 7 other sets, all in Univeristies in the U.S. & Britian in their Archive section of their Libraries, which can be viewed in their Archive Room, but cannot be taken out or copied. This set, my research indicates, was purchased in Saudi Arabia and brought to America, since then, many treasures have been destroyed by war & conflict. The Artist is Susan Southby, however, unable to find any other info on the person, except Her paintings/drawings were allowed on Postcards in 1948 to collect funds for the Palestinian Refugee Relief Fund by the United Nations (UNRWA). A few of these postcards are still available today. Paintings may be viewed in the Phoenix Area. Also, Photo #2, Arab Woman of Safsaf, Safsaf was destroyed in the 1948 Israeli-Arab War, another painting/drawing,Photo #5, an Arab Woman of Lake Huleh, Lake Huleh, was drained in the 50s for housing. Note, it is possible that this complete set is one of the few complete sets that survive the conflict in that area. If interested or want more info, answer this Ad with a phone number and I will contact you. The Price is for the Book "Costumes of the Holy Land" which contains the 6 English numbered prints posted here, the paper cover, which is torn, and the books only discriptive paragraph and numbered book 250. Shipping, if applicable, is extra.
Photo # 1 Arab Woman of Bethlehem.
