EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 19th century vintage photograph of bathing in the Dead Sea, taken by the renowned Fiorillo Studio around the 1890s. The image captures a serene moment in history, as people enjoy the unique experience of floating in the salty waters of the Holy Land's lowest point. The Dead Sea, a salt lake nestled in the Jordan Rift Valley, is bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. Its surface and shores lie 430.5 metres below sea level, making it Earth's lowest elevation on land. In this photograph, the Dead Sea's coastline is dotted with sunbathers, who appear to be enjoying the warm summer sun as they wade through the shallow waters, some even sitting on the sandbar that juts out into the sea. The scene is further enhanced by the picturesque backdrop of the setting sun, casting an orange and pink glow over the tranquil waters. The sky is dotted with clouds, adding to the idyllic and scenic atmosphere. The sandy shoreline, with its soft, golden sand, stretches out towards the horizon, inviting visitors to explore the shores and take in the grandeur of this historic location. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to an era of travel and tourism that was just beginning to flourish. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the seaside, and the desire to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse oneself in the beauty and serenity of nature.
