Hani Hurani, 13.9.21, Al-Arabi Al-Jadid,شرقي الأردن مطلع القرن العشرين عبر عدسة خليل رعد As far as is known, Raad was the first archeological photographer in the region. He accompanied many western archaeological expeditions either in an official capacity or out of personal interest, or provided them with photographs. For example, the excavations at Beit Guvrin, at Beit Shemesh, in Al Khalīl Heights (Mamre near Hebron), at Beit Shean, Samaria, Mitzpe, Ashkelon, in the Jerusalem area and more. Raad documented extensively excavations, sites and biblical and historical archeological remains, ruins with ornamental archeological and architectural elements, and close-ups of buildings in places considered sacred or biblical. These photographs to some extent reinforced the biblical and holy image of the country and hinted at different aspects of western photography. Thus, for example, Absalom’s Pillar, as well as the photographs of the Crusader Church ruins in Samaria with people positioned alongside it, recall photographs of these places taken by western photographers of the 19th century (such as the Bonfils Family Photographers). The ruins of Kfar Nahum (Capernaum) and the house of Martha and Mary represent examples of photographs with a Christian significance common to western photographers, and were photographed by Raad as well.
