EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the year 1889, capturing a Pilgrim Camp in the vast plain east of Mount Arafah. The image, an albumen print by a German photographer from the 19th century, showcases a private collection that is now out of copyright. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness the essence of pilgrimage as Muslim pilgrims gather together in their traditional clothing during the Hajj journey. The camp is dotted with tents that provide shelter for weary travelers seeking rest amidst the arid Arabian desert. The focal point of this photo lies on a group of camels gracefully positioned nearby. Their low humps create an intriguing silhouette against the horizon, symbolizing resilience and adaptability in such harsh conditions.
