Tripoli from 17th to 20th Century
A Visual History
Bob Bell, a son of Tripoli, will be raiding his unique
collection of historical images of his native city to give
members and their friends a fascinating visual history
of Lebanon’s great northern city. The presentation will
be an interactive talk using images of paintings,
photos and prints of Tripoli from 17th century to the
last quarter of 20th century.
Bob will engage the audience in a discussion about
places, people and events that took place in Tripoli
throughout the period. The presentation is scheduled to
last for an hour but previous experience tells us that the
audiences are completed fascinated by the journey Bob
takes them on and the Q&A that follows is often as
intriguing as the images themselves and if necessary
there are a few more images that can be shown for an
encore!
Not to be missed but please book early, the Royal
Thames Yacht Club has a limited number of seats.
“Some of the photos I will show have never been
published before. They are truly vintage from the
1950's and 1960's.” Bob Bell.
