EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Damascus Distant," offers a glimpse into the rich history and allure of Syria's famed capital city, Damascus, as it appeared around 1840. The photograph, though not an actual one due to the technology not being available during that time, is an exquisite print that transports us back in time. Damascus, known as the "City of Jasmine," is believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, with a history that spans over 10,000 years. The city's unique charm lies in its intricate blend of various civilizations, from ancient Assyrian, Babylonian, and Roman influences to the Islamic and Ottoman eras. In this print, we see Damascus from a distance, with its sprawling urban landscape nestled amidst the rolling hills and lush greenery. The city's iconic skyline is dominated by the majestic Umayyad Mosque, a stunning architectural marvel that dates back to the 8th century. The mosque's distinctive red and white striped minarets stand tall against the clear blue sky, while the city's labyrinthine streets and rooftops create a mesmerizing mosaic of colors and textures. The print also reveals the city's strategic location at the crossroads of several ancient trade routes, with the Barada River meandering through the landscape, providing essential water to the city and its inhabitants. The verdant gardens and orchards that surround the city are a testament to the fertile land and the resilient spirit of the people of Damascus. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring beauty and history of Damascus, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from all corners of the world.
