From Sallah, Damascus, Holy Land (i.e. Syria): A Colored and Picturesque View from the 19th Century This photograph, titled 'From Sallah, Damascus, Holy Land (i.e. Syria)', dates back to the late 19th century, around 1890-1900. The image presents a nostalgic and picturesque scene of Damascus, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world and a major cultural center of the Middle East. The photograph, taken from a vantage point in Sallah, a historic neighborhood in Damascus, showcases the city's rich architectural heritage. The image is filled with a myriad of colors, as the red-tiled rooftops of the houses contrast beautifully with the lush greenery of the palm trees and the blue sky above. The narrow, winding streets, lined with traditional houses, evoke a sense of old-world charm and history. The photograph is a testament to the beauty and allure of Damascus during the 19th century, a time when the city was a major stop on the ancient trade routes that connected Europe, Asia, and Africa. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the sights and sounds of this historic city as it once was. The photograph is a coloured photochrom print, a popular method of producing colored photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The process involved the use of multiple color filters and the subsequent transfer of the colors onto the final print. This method allowed for the creation of vibrant and detailed images, making this photograph a valuable historical document and a beautiful work of art.
