EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient city of Beirout, known as Berothah in Syria during 1841. The talented artist James B Allen beautifully captures the essence of this historical location, showcasing its religious significance and breathtaking natural surroundings. Berothah was a prominent city in ancient Syria, belonging to King Hadadezer bar Rehob of Zobah. Scholars have identified it with the Berothah mentioned in Ezekiel, which lay between Hamath and Damascus. This engraving from John Carne's publication "Syria, the Holy land and Asia Minor" allows us to witness this significant biblical site firsthand. The image showcases Beirout against a backdrop of majestic mountains, specifically Mount Liban (Lebanon). The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to the scene, transporting us back to the 19th century when this print was created. As we delve into this photograph's details, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that exists within these lands. It serves as a reminder that religion has played a vital role in shaping both history and geography across continents like Asia. James B Allen's artistic vision combined with William Henry Bartlett's expertise brings forth an evocative portrayal of Beirout's past glory. This print is not only a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into our collective human history.
