This photo print, titled "Damascus and its gardens, as seen from the north-west, Syria, 1900" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the city's rich history. Taken by renowned photographers Underwood & Underwood in the early 20th century, this stereoscopic slide transports us back to a time when Damascus was adorned with lush greenery and bustling with life. The image showcases the breathtaking beauty of Damascus' gardens, which were meticulously designed and maintained. The intricate patterns created by these well-manicured landscapes are juxtaposed against the arid desert sand that surrounds them. This contrast highlights both nature's resilience and mankind's ability to create oases amidst challenging environments. Intriguingly, scattered throughout the scene are people going about their daily lives - strolling through the gardens or engaging in conversations. Their presence adds depth to this snapshot of Syrian culture at that time. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece captured over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how cities evolve while preserving their unique charm. Damascus has undoubtedly transformed since then but remains an enchanting destination that continues to captivate visitors with its ancient history and vibrant spirit. This print is part of The Print Collector collection curated by TGN (The Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names), showcasing historical moments from around the world. It allows us to appreciate not only Underwood & Underwood's artistic talent but also provides valuable insights into Syria's past for generations to come.
