EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting city of Damascus, Syria in 1841. The image showcases a branch of the Barrada River, also known as the ancient Pharpar, adorned with charming cafes along its riverbank. As night falls, these riverside establishments come alive with people seeking refreshment and nourishment. The scene captures the essence of 19th-century life in this Middle Eastern country, providing a glimpse into the bustling atmosphere that once graced these historic streets. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to the landscape, emphasizing its enduring beauty. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. From the intricate architecture of each cafe to the flowing waters of the Barrada River, every element is meticulously captured. This publication from John Carne's "Syria, The Holy Land and Asia Minor" serves as a valuable historical document that allows us to appreciate both the geographical features and cultural significance of this region. As we gaze upon this print by S Smith under William Henry Bartlett's guidance, we are transported not only through space but also through time. It reminds us that even amidst political turmoil or changing landscapes, there are moments frozen forever in art that allow us to connect with our past and celebrate our shared humanity across continents and centuries.
