EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting streets of Damascus, Syria in 1894. The image captures a moment in time when narguila smokers indulged in their favorite pastime, enveloped by the rich Arab culture that permeated every corner of this ancient city. Intriguingly, the photograph showcases a group of individuals engrossed in their hookahs, or nargilehs as they were known locally. The smoke from these waterpipes billows around them, creating an ethereal atmosphere that transports us to another era. Their faces reveal a sense of contentment and relaxation as they enjoy the flavorsome tobacco within. The scene also offers glimpses into daily life during this period. A tobacco packet and box are prominently displayed nearby, highlighting the popularity of smoking addiction at that time. This snapshot serves as a reminder not only of cultural practices but also provides insights into historical aspects such as trade routes and consumer habits. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how deeply rooted Arab civilization is in its traditions and customs. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Middle Eastern culture throughout history. Through this photograph's lens, we gain access to an intimate moment frozen in time - one that allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within Syrian society during the late 19th century.
