EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of the Syrian bazaar, a bustling hub of commerce and culture that has captivated travelers for centuries. This evocative photograph, taken circa 1910s, transports us back in time to the heart of the Middle Eastern marketplace. The scene unfolds in the bustling souk, or market, where the aroma of spices and the sounds of haggling fill the air. Shoppers and merchants mingle amongst the stalls, their faces a kaleidoscope of expressions, from the determined bargainer to the curious onlooker. At the center of the image, a shopkeeper proudly displays his wares. Metalwork and decorative objects, intricately crafted, glint in the sunlight. The evil eyes, a common motif in Middle Eastern design, ward off evil and protect the shop and its owner. Nearby, ostrich eggs, a prized delicacy, are stacked high, their smooth, glossy surfaces reflecting the bustling activity around them. The bazaar is a place where tradition and history intertwine, where the past and present come together in a sensory feast for the senses. This photograph is a testament to the richness and diversity of Syrian culture, a reminder of the vibrant history that continues to shape the region today. The bazaar is more than just a marketplace; it is a living, breathing testament to the resilience and creativity of the people who call it home.
