Date/Time and Place of an Event Note:
Glass negative related primarly to an expedition to Palmyra (Syria), carried out by Moritz Sobernheim in 1899, when he photographed and made squeezes of some of the inscriptions. A few years later, while in Berlin, Ernst Herzfeld collaborated with M. Sobernheim by drafting architectural plans for the 1905 expedition to Baalbeck. At that time, He might have gained access to the squeezes of the Palmyrene inscriptions that are the subject of this series of glass negatives."
