EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Beit-El-Ma, the site of the ancient city of Riblah in Israel. Taken in 1841 by artist Henry Adlard, this engraving showcases a breathtaking landscape nestled amidst Asia's mountainous terrain. The remote location exudes tranquility and serenity, transporting viewers to a bygone era. Riblah itself was an important town on Israel's northern frontier, situated 35 miles northeast of Baalbec and approximately 10 to 12 miles south of Lake Homs. Positioned on the eastern bank of the Orontes River within a fertile plain, it boasted natural wonders like waterfalls and cataracts that added to its allure. The image is part of "Syria, the Holy land and Asia Minor" volume I published by Fisher, Son & Co. in London during the 19th century. This publication aimed to showcase various locations across Syria and Asia Minor through stunning prints like this one. With its monochrome palette highlighting every intricate detail, this print offers a glimpse into Palestine's rich history while capturing the essence of Middle Eastern landscapes. It serves as a testament to both Adlard's artistic prowess and William Henry Bartlett's contribution as an illustrator for John Carne's book. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection today, we are reminded not only of Riblah's ancient splendor but also how art can transport us through time and space with just one glance.
