EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Route to Petra from Teyaha, c1915" captures the historical journey of British writer, soldier, and diplomatic advisor Mark Sykes to the ancient archaeological site of Petra in Jordan. Created by Stanfords Geographical Establishment, this map showcases the path taken by Sykes during his travels through Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Persia, and Turkey between 1905 and 1913. The map highlights significant features along the route such as an ancient rock hewn road that leads towards Petra. It also marks points of interest including Robbers Outpost and Ma'an railway station. This visual representation allows us to trace Sykes' footsteps as he embarked on his exploration of the Middle East. Lt. -Col. Sir Mark Sykes was a man of many accomplishments; he served as honorary attache to the British Embassy in Constantinople from 1905-1906 before being elected to parliament. During World War I, he worked in the Intelligence department of the War Office but tragically succumbed to Spanish flu at just 39 years old. "The Caliphs Last Heritage: A Short History of The Turkish Empire" is a book authored by Lt. -Col. Sir Mark Sykes himself in which he documented his experiences and knowledge gained during his extensive travels. This print not only offers a glimpse into a significant historical journey but also serves as a testament to Sir Mark Sykes' contributions as an explorer and scholar.
