The majestic Lebanon cedar, scientifically known as Cedrus libani and belonging to the Pinaceae family, is a symbol of strength and resilience. This iconic tree has been captured in various illustrations throughout history, showcasing its grandeur and significance. In James Duffield Harding's "Cedars of Lebanon" from The Park and the Forest (1841), we are transported to a time when these ancient cedars stood tall and proud. Francis Frith's "The Largest of the Cedars, Mount Lebanon" (1857) captures the sheer size and magnificence of these trees, leaving us in awe of their beauty. Felix Bonfils' photograph from around 1870 allows us a glimpse into the past, reminding us that these cedars have witnessed centuries of history unfold. Another illustration titled "Lebanon Cedar" (1833-39) showcases the intricate details of this remarkable species through colored engraving. As we delve further into history with images like "Blenheim" (1853-56) by James Knight or Francis Frith's "Cedars of Lebanon" series from around 1857, it becomes evident that these trees have captivated artists for generations. Their timeless allure continues to inspire awe-inspiring works even today. One particular image titled "Distant View of the Cedars of Lebanon, " also by Francis Frith circa 1857, transports us to an ethereal landscape where these ancient giants dominate the horizon, and is here that we truly grasp their significance as symbols deeply rooted in Lebanese culture. Lastly, James Clark and Henry A Harper's creation titled "Cedars of Lebanon - Matt. Xii. 33" from approximately 1924 reminds us that just like this enduring tree species mentioned in biblical texts; our actions too should reflect strength and integrity. Through centuries-old illustrations and photographs capturing its essence, it becomes clear why the Lebanon cedar holds such a special place in our hearts.
