Under the coordination of the Bahrain Institute for Pearls and Gemstones (DANAT), and on the occasion of the historic visit of the granddaughter of the Cartier family, Mrs. Francesca Cartier Brickell, to Bahrain, a memorial photo was taken of her yesterday in the same position in which her grandfather, Mr. Cartier, sat during his visit to Bahrain in 1912, about 110 years ago, and next to her are the grandchildren of those who appeared in the previous photo with Mr. Cartier.

In the old photo dating back to 1912, from right to left, 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, from right to left, 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).
