DANAT Recreates the Historical Photo of Jacques Cartier’s Visit to Bahrain in 1912

Iconic photograph!

Bahrain Institute for Pearls & Gemstones, DANAT has recreated the historical photo of Jacques Cartier in Bahrain 110 years ago with Francesca Cartier, the great-granddaughter of the French jeweler, upon her visit to the Kingdom as part of Jewellery Arabia! Sitting next to her are the grandchildren of those who were in the previous photograph with Jacques Cartier. Isn’t this amazing!

In the old photo dating back to 1912, we see Yousif bin Ahmed Kanoo, Salman bin Hussain Mattar, Jacques Cartier, Muqbel bin Abdulrahman Al Thakir, and Abdulrahman Al Ibrahim.

In the year 2022, the picture of the grandchildren, shows Fawzi bin Ahmed Kanoo, Ibrahim bin Khalifa Mattar, Francesca Cartier, Muqbel bin Salman Al-Thukair and Omar bin Yousif Al-Thukair (grandson of Al Ibrahim family)

Repeating history!
