EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Damascus in 1920. The image captures a picturesque view of Straight Street, one of the oldest and most iconic thoroughfares in this ancient city. Standing near the east gate, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians coexisted harmoniously amidst stunning architecture. The scene exudes an air of timeless charm as sunlight filters through the intricate arches that line both sides of Straight Street. The architectural details showcase Damascus' rich history, with ornate facades and traditional Arab designs adorning each building. As our gaze wanders down the street, we can almost hear echoes of vibrant conversations and whispers from centuries past. This photograph offers a glimpse into daily life during a pivotal moment in Syrian history. It serves as a visual testament to Damascus' enduring allure as a cultural crossroads between East and West. With its narrow cobblestone lanes leading towards distant horizons, it invites us to embark on a journey through time. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, let's take a moment to appreciate how photography has allowed us to preserve precious moments like these for generations to come.
