EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a group of Muslim travelers visiting Antioch in the 1800s. The hand-colored woodcut, based on a 19th-century illustration, showcases the rich heritage and traditional practices of these pilgrims encamped near Antioch. The image transports us to a bygone era as we witness the visitors engaging in religious rituals and prayer on their intricately designed prayer rugs. As they pay homage to their faith, surrounded by the historic ruins of Antioch, one can't help but feel a sense of awe at the deep-rooted history and spirituality that permeates this ancient city. Antakya (formerly known as Antioch) holds great significance for Muslims due to its association with early Islamic history. This picture provides us with a glimpse into the lives of those who traveled from far and wide to experience this sacred place firsthand. The artwork not only serves as an artistic representation but also acts as a window into Middle Eastern culture during this time period. It reminds us of the importance placed on religion, travel, and exploration in shaping our understanding of different regions around Asia Minor. As we admire this historical piece, let it serve as a reminder that even centuries ago, people embarked on journeys seeking spiritual fulfillment and connection with their roots – something that continues to resonate with many today.
