Qur'an Recitation & Pictures of Makkah from 1885/86!!!!!

[Al-Kashmiri]

As-salaamu `alaykum

Ok this is an old news article but went under my nose completely. Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje A Dutchman captured a collection of photographs in Makkah dating back to 1885. What amazed me most wasn't actually the collection, but the recording of the Qur'an he captured using a cylinder phonograph (not sure if it's same date but have been told so)... Follow the link below, read the story and be sure to listen to the beautiful recitation of Sûrah Ad-Duhâ. It really does sound 'old'...
