EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a horse-drawn tram making its way along the Tal Tripoli tramway in Lebanon, circa 1907. The tram, adorned with ornate Ottoman-style decorations, is pulled by a team of two strong horses, their breath visible in the cool morning air. The double-decker design of the tram allows passengers to enjoy the scenic views from both levels, as they travel along the tracks that wind through the picturesque Lebanese countryside. The tramway, a relic of the Ottoman Empire, was once a vital mode of transportation in Lebanon, connecting the coastal city of Tripoli with the surrounding villages and towns. The horses, with their powerful muscles rippling as they pull the heavy load, were an essential part of the tram's operation, providing the necessary traction to traverse the steep inclines and rough terrain. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when horse-drawn trams were the primary means of transportation in Lebanon. Today, this historic tramway stands as a testament to the country's rich history and cultural heritage, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to experience a piece of the past. The horses, too, continue to play a role in Lebanese life, with many farms and ranches maintaining herds for agriculture and tourism purposes. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures of travel and the enduring bond between humans and animals, as well as a tribute to the ingenuity and resilience of the people of Lebanon in finding innovative solutions to meet their transportation needs.
