EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene of a Woman of Dsjidda skillfully making flatbread in the vast desert. Engraved by C. J. de Huyser and published around 1772-74, this artwork showcases the rich cultural heritage of Arabia during that era. The woman, adorned in traditional attire, stands gracefully amidst the golden sand dunes as she expertly prepares bread on an open fire. Her face is veiled with a yashmak, adding an air of mystery to her presence. The scorching sun above casts long shadows across the landscape, while a delicate sunshade provides some respite from its relentless heat. This daily life scene offers us a glimpse into the nomadic lifestyle prevalent in Dsjidda (possibly Jeddah), where food preparation becomes an art form passed down through generations. The aroma of freshly baked bread fills the air as she effortlessly kneads and shapes each piece with utmost precision. As we admire this image, we are reminded of the deep-rooted traditions and customs that shape Arab culture. It serves as a testament to their resilience and resourcefulness in adapting to harsh environments like deserts. Published either in Description of Arabia 1772 or Travels Through Arabia 1774 by Carsten Niebuhr, this engraving immortalizes not only the woman's culinary skills but also pays homage to her unwavering spirit and dedication to preserving age-old practices.
