EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Beit Mary, Mount Lebanon, the Scene of the Recent Conflict between the Druses and the Maronites" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into a tumultuous period that unfolded in Lebanon. The image showcases Beit Mary, a location steeped in conflict between two religious groups: the Druses and the Maronites. The intricate architecture of Beit Mary stands as a silent witness to these clashes. Its grandeur juxtaposed against its war-torn surroundings creates a powerful visual contrast. As we delve deeper into this scene, it becomes evident that topography plays an essential role here. The rugged mountains of Mount Lebanon serve as both protector and divider for these warring factions. They provide strategic advantages while also posing challenges for those seeking peace. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on October 1st, 1859. It serves as an important historical document capturing not only architectural beauty but also shedding light on conflicts that shaped Lebanon's past. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and bring awareness to forgotten or overlooked events. It invites us to reflect upon humanity's struggles throughout history and encourages us to seek understanding and harmony amidst diversity.
