EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to 1918, capturing a significant moment in Jerusalem's history. The image showcases an awe-inspiring scene of the "Around city wall Firing Ramadan Cannon Gordon" on Gordons Calvary. This iconic event, which had been taking place since British occupation, holds immense cultural and historical significance. The photograph transports us to the ancient city walls of Jerusalem, where locals gather to witness this mesmerizing spectacle during the holy month of Ramadan. As dusk settles over the horizon, a cannon is fired with thunderous force, marking the end of daily fasting and signaling the time for iftar – breaking fast. The composition beautifully captures both tradition and modernity as people clad in traditional attire stand alongside British soldiers who played a crucial role during this period. It serves as a poignant reminder of how different cultures can coexist harmoniously within one space. Through this image, we are reminded that history is not just confined to textbooks; it lives through photographs like these. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable moment for generations to come, allowing us to reflect upon our shared past and appreciate diverse customs that have shaped our world today.
