EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Damascus, where history and biblical tales intertwine. The image captures the famous wall by which Saint Paul made his daring escape centuries ago. The photograph, taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue. It transports us to a different era, allowing us to witness firsthand the ancient lands that hold such significance in religious texts. Displayed against a backdrop of rugged terrain and crumbling stones, the wall stands as a silent witness to Saint Paul's miraculous getaway. Its weathered facade tells stories of countless generations who have passed through its gates. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the rich tapestry woven by faith and history in these holy lands. The basket depicted near the wall serves as a poignant symbol of hope and salvation - just like the vessel that carried Saint Paul to safety. This remarkable photograph is part of a private collection but was originally featured in "Album de Terre Sainte" (Holy Land Album) published around 1900. Its inclusion in this publication aimed to bring alive the essence of these sacred places for those unable to experience them firsthand. Through this evocative snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear echoes from centuries past whispering their secrets across continents and generations. It invites us on an introspective journey into our collective heritage while reminding us that even walls can bear witness to extraordinary events.
