This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Damascus in 1841. The image showcases the mesmerizing beauty of The Barrada River, also known as the ancient Pharpar, flowing gracefully through this historic capital city of Syria. As the sun sets on the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the landscape, an encampment can be seen along the riverbank. Tents dotting the scene create a picturesque setting against the backdrop of this bustling Asian metropolis. The artist's skillful engraving captures every detail with precision, from the majestic camels peacefully grazing nearby to the tranquil flow of water reflecting its surroundings. This monochrome masterpiece evokes a sense of tranquility and wonder that transports viewers to another time and place. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its historical significance.
