Mother and child, in traditional dress, taken by Palestinian photographer Khalil Raad around 1920. Raad is known for photographs in which his subjects smile and appear relaxed – quite unusual for this period – and likely due to the fact that Raad personally knew many of the individuals who posed for him. Raad’s photos contrast markedly with photos taken by foreign photographers of his time, who frequently presented Palestine in a Biblical or Orientalist light.
