EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Al-Balad, the historic heart of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. The image showcases the architectural beauty of 19th-century buildings adorned with their distinctive mashrabiyas, or Arab oriel windows. These wooden latticework screens not only add a touch of elegance to the structures but also serve practical purposes by screening windows and supporting small projecting balconies. The intricate lattice work on these mashrabiyas is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent in Arabian architecture. It reflects the rich cultural heritage and traditional aesthetics that have stood the test of time in this region. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining life within these old Jeddah buildings. The combination of woodwork, lattice patterns, and charming balconies evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. This image reminds us that amidst modernization and progress, it is crucial to preserve historical landmarks like Al-Balad as they hold stories from generations past. They provide glimpses into our collective history while showcasing architectural marvels unique to this part of the world. Photographed by AG for Discover Images by AWL, this print serves as a visual reminder that there is much beauty to be found in embracing tradition alongside contemporary advancements.
