Views of Akka, Haifa, Mt. Carmel, and Other Places:

Photographs of "The Dwelling Place of the Most High," Authorized by Abdu'l-Baha

Chicago: Bahá’í Publishing Society, 1912/1918/2007

About: The 42 hand-tinted photographs that make up the core of this publication were scanned in from an early Bahá‘í publication whose title page states: Views of Acca, Haifa, Mt. Carmel, and Other Places, published by the Bahá‘í Publishing Society, Chicago, U.S.A. The exact title and publication date of this work has never been firmly established in the various bibliographies that have been produced over the years. For example: The Bahá’í World, Vol. 17 (1976-79), p. 572 gives a close approximation to the actual title page: Views of Acca, Haifa, Mount Carmel and Other Holy Places. It states the book was published in 1918 in paper, cloth and leather. [-D.T., 2007].
