About this work
Karimeh Abbud was a professional photographer working in the 1920s and 30s. Given a camera by her father on her seventeenth birthday, the teenage Abbud began photographing friends, family and the landscape. From the early 1920s she began professionally photographing women and children in domestic spaces and at social events, and in the 1930s became a celebrated portrait and wedding photographer in Nazareth. During this time she also expanded her commercial practice, selling images of local landmarks for the lucrative early twentieth-century postcard market.
