- During the 19th and early 20th century, the rugged, mountainous land through which the River Jordan flows, was a region of untouched beauty and deeply held tribal traditions. Beyond the River gathers over 200 black-and-white photographs of Transjordan from the collections of the Palestine Exploration Fund, taken during the dying days of the Ottoman Empire, through the First World War, and the establishment of the Hashemite Emirate of Jordan in 1921 from which the modern Kingdom evolved.

- The gateway to the palace at Mushatta, a view by Dumas, taken for the American Palestine Exploration Society in 1875. Sheikh Goblan's standard bearer, holding the mark of his office, stands by the entrance. (PEF/P/1705).

- These beautiful images of the peoples, monuments, and landscapes of Transjordan, capture the powerful spirit of the place, and provide an unsurpassed documentation of the region's archaeological heritage, and a unique visual record of a crucial moment in Levantine history.
