EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Preparing for an Encampment at Palmyra" artist Carl Haag takes us back in time to the deserts of Syria. The scene is set amidst the ancient ruins of Palmyra, a once-thriving city that now stands as a testament to history's grandeur. As we gaze upon the print, our eyes are immediately drawn to a group of camels gracefully positioned in the foreground. These magnificent creatures, known as Bactrian camels, stand tall and proud against the backdrop of golden sand dunes. Their humps serve as a reminder of their resilience and adaptability in such harsh environments. The encampment itself is bustling with activity. Men clad in traditional attire can be seen preparing for their journey into the vast desert expanse. Tents are being erected, supplies organized, and fires lit - all essential tasks before embarking on such an arduous adventure. Haag's attention to detail brings life to this historical moment captured by The Illustrated London News in 1860. Each stroke of his engraving skillfully portrays not only the physical surroundings but also evokes a sense of anticipation and wonder that must have been felt by those present at that time. This enchanting print serves as both a visual feast and a window into another era - reminding us of humanity's enduring connection with nature and its ability to conquer even the most challenging landscapes.
