EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the mid-19th century takes us back in time to witness the pilgrimage of male and female pilgrims on their way to Mecca. The image showcases the rich traditions and cultural significance of this sacred journey. Dressed in traditional Ihram clothing, these pilgrims are adorned with garments that symbolize purity and equality before God. The men don simple white robes while the women wear veils such as burkas or niqabs, reflecting their devotion to Islam. The composition of this lithograph beautifully captures the essence of a pilgrimage, as we see a diverse group of individuals walking barefoot through the arid Arabian landscape towards their ultimate destination - Mecca. Their determination is palpable, each step bringing them closer to fulfilling their spiritual obligations. Created by Francis Burton and Richard Francis Burton, this artwork is part of the Carousel Collection which aims to preserve historical moments for generations to come. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and unity within Muslim communities around the world. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into an era where tradition meets devotion; where people from all walks of life embark on a transformative journey towards self-discovery and enlightenment. This lithograph reminds us that regardless of time or place, our shared humanity unites us in our pursuit for something greater than ourselves - a connection with our spirituality.
