EDITORS COMMENTS
Albert Frederick Calvert in the Alhambra, Granada, Spain, 1907. This print captures Australian traveler and author Albert Frederick Calvert immersed in the enchanting beauty of the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain. Dressed in oriental attire and smoking a huqqa pipe, Calvert exudes an air of exoticism as he explores the architectural wonders that date back to the 14th century. Calvert's visit to the Alhambra was not merely for leisure but also served as inspiration for his renowned work "The Alhambra: being a brief record of the Arabian conquest of the Peninsula with a particular account of Mohammedan architecture and decoration". In this book, published by John Lane in London & New York in 1907, Calvert delves into intricate details about Islamic artistry and design found within this historic site. The photograph showcases not only Calvert's deep appreciation for Moorish culture but also highlights his dedication to documenting its rich history. The elaborate archways adorned with exquisite plasterwork serve as a backdrop to his portrait, emphasizing both his occupation as an author and his passion for exploring different cultures. This image transports us back to a time when travel was seen as an opportunity for intellectual growth and cultural exchange.
