Full Description
Saudi Arabia:
Portraits of Change, Volume 1: 1940s-1960s explores the dawn of modern infrastructural development and industry in
Saudi Arabia, a period that laid the foundation for the Kingdom's future
ascendance. The photography of Cecilia Green masterfully documents these
transformative decades, capturing scenes of traditional life and living
cultural heritage set against the backdrop of revered cultural sites. It was a
dynamic and transformative moment, when the introduction of airways, rail
transit, concrete homes, comprehensive highway networks, desalination plants,
and modern state buildings collectively defined the immediate post-oil period
of the 1940s-1950s.
