EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and majesty of a Cedar of Lebanon tree, a living relic of history and a symbol of resilience. Circa 1890, this image transports us back in time to an era when these ancient trees still graced the forests of Lebanon in large numbers. The Cedar of Lebanon, also known as Cedrus libani, is a species of cedar native to the Eastern Mediterranean region. It has held a significant place in history for its timber, which was highly valued for its durability and aroma. The tree in this photograph, with its towering height and gnarled branches, stands as a testament to the enduring beauty and strength of nature. Its silhouette against the sky is a striking reminder of the passage of time and the ever-changing landscape. The photograph was taken during a time when the Cedar of Lebanon forests were under threat from logging and deforestation. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving these natural wonders for future generations. The Cedar of Lebanon has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. It was mentioned in the Bible and was a favorite building material for the ancient Phoenicians, who used it to construct their fleets and temples. The tree has also been the subject of many legends and myths, including the story of the Phoenician goddess Astarte, who was said to have created the first man from the wood of a Cedar of Lebanon tree. Today, the Cedar of Lebanon is a protected species, and efforts are being made to reforest the areas where it once grew in abundance. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the role that trees play in shaping our history and our future.
