Middle East: The Birth of Nations
Series examining Albert Kahn's 'Archives of the Planet' photography project. A fresh look at the birth of present-day Syria, Lebanon and Palestine.
Series examining Albert Kahn's Archives of the Planet project, in which he sent photographers around the world to document major events. Defeat in WW1 led to the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and its former provinces came under British and French control - though as the occupying troops arrived, the people of present-day Syria, Lebanon and Palestine were already entertaining hopes that they would be able to govern themselves. Kahn's cameras were present as these new nations were born.
