EDITORS COMMENTS
A glimpse into the thriving silkworm industry of early 20th century Syria, this print transports us to a silkworm plantation nestled in the majestic Lebanon mountains. Captured by renowned photographers Underwood & Underwood, this stereoscopic slide offers a unique perspective on the region's rich agricultural heritage. In this mesmerizing scene, a lone male figure stands amidst rows of lush mulberry trees, which serve as vital sustenance for the industrious silkworms. His presence exudes an air of quiet determination and expertise, embodying the dedication required to cultivate these delicate creatures that produce one of nature's most coveted fibers. The mountain range looms majestically in the background, its rugged beauty contrasting with the meticulous orderliness of the plantation. This juxtaposition symbolizes both man's harmonious coexistence with nature and his ability to harness its resources for economic prosperity. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that agriculture played a pivotal role in shaping Syrian society during this era. The image serves as a testament to not only human ingenuity but also to Syria's geographical advantage - situated at the crossroads between East and West - making it an ideal location for such endeavors. This evocative print is more than just a visual record; it encapsulates centuries-old traditions passed down through generations while offering us insight into Syria's cultural fabric. It reminds us that even amidst changing times and landscapes, some legacies endure.
