At the Riyadh International Book Fair, stacks of vintage magazines and newspapers stand as silent storytellers of a bygone era.
One publishing house presents a remarkable collection of rare books, magazines, and newspapers—some dating back to 1912—that chronicle defining moments in the history of the Kingdom and the Arab world. These preserved pages offer visitors a vivid window into the region’s cultural and political evolution.
People of all generations stop in fascination before these relics, reading faded headlines and feeling a poignant connection to times they never experienced.
The display includes cultural journals, political dailies, school newsletters, and nostalgic advertisements. Notably, several of these early publications were once handwritten before being printed.
Each item, displayed as part of a living archive, is thoughtfully accompanied by descriptions that shed light on its context and historical importance—inviting visitors to rediscover the past through the printed word.
