EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, entitled "View of the village of Mina, in the desert of Arafat (Tent City, Mecca, Saudi Arabia)," is a stunning 19th-century illustration by Ali Bey el Abbassi from his extensive travel memoirs. The engraving, hand-colored by Lazaretti, was published in Milan between 1815 and 1817 as part of Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages. The illustration provides a breathtaking glimpse into the desert landscape of Arafat, specifically the pilgrimage site of Mina, near Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. The sprawling tent city, home to thousands of pilgrims during the annual Hajj journey, is depicted against the backdrop of a vast, golden desert. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors of the tents contrast sharply with the arid, sandy terrain, creating a striking visual juxtaposition. The image offers a unique perspective on the rich history and cultural significance of this sacred site. Pilgrims from all corners of the world gather here to perform various rituals, including the symbolic stoning of the devil and the casting of pebbles at pillars representing Satan. This powerful image serves as a testament to the enduring allure and importance of the Hajj pilgrimage in the Islamic faith. The intricate copperplate engraving by Dell Acqua adds an additional layer of detail and depth to the illustration, highlighting the skill and artistry of the craftsmen involved in its creation. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in the history, culture, and spirituality of the Middle East and the Islamic world.
