EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "JERUSALEM: WATER CARRIER" takes us back to the late 19th century in Jerusalem, capturing a moment frozen in time. In this mesmerizing portrait, we see a man walking through the streets of Jerusalem, his turban wrapped around his head and determination etched on his face. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the skin of water that he carries effortlessly on his shoulder. This traditional method of transporting water using an animal bladder showcases the resourcefulness and resilience of the people living in this ancient city. As we gaze at this photochrome print, we are transported to a different era when life was simpler yet filled with challenges. The dusty streets and worn-out buildings serve as reminders of the rich history that surrounds Jerusalem. While it is impossible to know for certain whether this man was Israeli or Palestinian, what remains undeniable is his importance as a water carrier - someone who played an essential role in ensuring access to clean drinking water for those residing within these walls. Through its vivid colors and remarkable detail, this photograph allows us to glimpse into daily life during turn-of-the-century Jerusalem. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human experience across time and cultures.
