EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Y. Pranishnikoff transports us to the vibrant streets of Sidon, where Muslim women and metouali (local residents) come together in a harmonious tableau. The image, originally published in 1881 as part of the Tour du monde magazine under the direction of Edouard Charton, beautifully illustrates the story "La Syria d aujourd hui" by M. Lortet. In this snapshot of daily life, we witness a glimpse into the cultural diversity and rich traditions that define Sidon. The graceful Muslim women are adorned in elegant attire, their veils delicately covering their heads while allowing glimpses of their expressive eyes. They exude an air of quiet confidence as they engage with one another and go about their activities. The metouali from Sidon add depth to this scene, representing a cross-section of society within this bustling city. Their presence highlights the interconnectedness between different communities and serves as a reminder that unity can be found amidst diversity. Y. Pranishnikoff's masterful engraving technique brings out intricate details and textures, capturing not only the physical features but also conveying emotions through subtle nuances in expression. As we gaze upon this historical print from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are transported back in time to experience a moment frozen forever - an enduring testament to the beauty and resilience of these remarkable women from Sidon.
