.............................................................Introduction

During 8 years (1977/1985) R.T. Minosa has achieved an important photographic work of 120.000 pictures
about many modern and traditional aspects of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As many of these aspects have already disappeared to day due to the drastic change of the country this collection represent an invaluable page of the history of the Kingdom. This work has been presented in numerous publications and exhibitions with an unanimous success.

In order to preserve and perpetuate this precious and timeless testimony which represents the memory of
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, R.T. Minosa spent the last few years scanning, archiving, editing and indexing a selection of 2.000 photos which is now available in high quality digital version allowing a perfect
compatibility with the most advanced technologies for large print or publication.

Moreover each picture is captioned and indexed (English/French) in a «Digital-Catalogue» permitting an easy research by bilingual keywords/Captions or to play a Slide Show of any desired pictures.

This photo library of Saudi Arabia has a priceless value for its rarity and its high artistic and technical quality.
Many and various projects can be made (films or slides shows for exhibition or museum, TV or In-flight
entertainment programs, post cards, books, brochures, pamphlets, etc)......................................READ MORE
