EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving from the Liszt Collection takes us on a visual journey to the enchanting cities of Damascus and Palmyra in Syria. Titled "Bon Bon Seller, Damascus and Palmyra, a journey to the East" this print offers a glimpse into the vibrant streets of these ancient cities. The focal point of the image is a bon bon seller, surrounded by an array of colorful sweets displayed in ornate jars. The seller's attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of Syria, with intricate patterns adorning their garments. Their warm smile invites viewers to immerse themselves in this bustling marketplace. Accompanying this illustration is a sketch depicting the state and prospects of Syria under Ibrahim Pasha's rule. This additional element adds historical context to Thackeray's artwork, shedding light on political dynamics during that time period. Through W. M. Thackeray's skilled hand, we are transported back in time to witness daily life in these iconic Syrian cities. The attention to detail captures not only the beauty but also provides insight into societal norms and customs prevalent at that time. As we admire this remarkable engraving today, let it serve as a reminder of our shared human history and appreciation for diverse cultures across continents.
