The island of Graia, Gulf of el-Akabeh. Photographer: Frith, Francis
- Scope & Content:
-
Inscription: Inscribed in the negative, 'Frith 188.'
Genre: Landscape Photography
View from the shore, looking across the bay towards the island of Graia (El-Ghureiyeh), with Crusader fortifications visible on the skyline: 'The main characteristic of the view is its entire desolation—an unnavigated sea, shut in by bare mountains, the very shore undisturbed by a tide, and, sleeping in the midst, a rocky island, covered by the ruins of an age that has passed by.'
