Re: Doing research on the old Aden postcards

Dear all,

I could not find appropriate words to express my gratitude to Mr. Jonathan Wilkins who is like a star in a world could be filled with darkness. My thanks also go to Mr. Hani whose initiative attempts encourage me to proceed in a topic I was about to stop thinking about. I am really indebt to both of you Gentlemen. The other problems I found is that I would like to tackle the issue of British Studios in Aden in my theoretical part, however, I could not find any reference to this except in a book called Aden: port mythique du Yémen‎ by José-Marie Bel. Unfortunately, half of this book is not available in Google book search. In fact, I did efforts to contact people in Yemen but the problem is that they did not find the book. Therefore, my requests reside in the following points.
•Is there any sites through which I could download this important book
•If any one know anything concerning the British Studios in Aden, plz do not hesitate to tell me whatever you know.
•Is there any other postcards that display native women in Aden.


Regards to all,

Re: Doing research on the old Aden postcards

Dear Hani bassel,
Thank you so much for your cooperation. In fact, the book, Aden: port mythique du Yémen‎ is written in both English and French. Of course,José-Marie Bel is a French author. i need the book because it talks about the British Studios in Aden at that time. Concerning my resident, iam in Moroccoo. i have been involved within Culture Studies Programme.Therefore, i am a little bit far from Yemen. Indeed, you enlighten me with this webesite, i ll try to search for it instantly, thanks for that.
Regards

Re: Doing research on the old Aden postcards

HI Abdullah , Thanks for the kind words. All I do is post the images and articles I receive. Without the contributions of Hani Bassell and many others this site would not exist to keep our memories alive.

Best wishes

If you search online the book comes up for sale in a number of places. Simply run a search for 'Jose-Marie Bel". for example, there are 2 copies on amazon.com starting at $106.

Yes Abdullah, there are quite a number of Aden ethnic postcards the photos for which were shot in studio. Many are of women. I have a rather large postcard collection and do have a number of ethnic cards but my problem might be the time constraints to arrange scanning as I can't find enough hours in the day to get through my already heavy workload. It might take me a bit of time.

These types of cards are regularly coming up for sale on eBay.

You could also look at the site www.delcampe.com which has thousands of cards for sale but the images are usually of a very high quality and excellent for downloading (for free).
