The archaeological work was carried out during the World War by German and Turkish researchers in order to preserve and further process the sites as well as the art treasures during this time. This research in Sinai was of great importance.
During the First World War, Wiegand, as captain of the Landwehr artillery in the Asia Corps, headed the German-Turkish Monument Protection Command, which included the architects Karl Wulzinger, Carl Watzinger and Walter Bachmann. Emergency surveys and surveys of Damascus, Petra and the Sinai, among others, were published after the war[4].
Provenance : Ex-libris Richard Falke (according to handwritten notes, an air force officer who took the aerial photographs for the book).
