View near Kunawat - The Stone Towns of Central Syria, otherwise known as the Giant Cities of Bashan,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph taken in the late 1870s, showcasing a breathtaking landscape in Central Syria. The image, from Henry Walter Bates' "Illustrated Travels," published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London, captures the awe-inspiring sight of Qanawat and its surrounding stone towns. Bates, a British travel writer, and Douglas William Freshfield, a renowned British mountaineer, collaborated on this publication, which aimed to bring the wonders of geography and travel to a wider audience. The photograph, taken in the nineteenth century, presents a striking contrast of light and shadow, with the sun casting long shadows over the rugged terrain. The foreground of the image is dominated by the imposing, weathered stone structures of Qanawat, which appear almost otherworldly in their size and grandeur. The stone towns, nestled in the valley below, are reminiscent of giants' playthings, scattered haphazardly among the undulating hills and mountains. The mountains in the background, their peaks shrouded in mist, add a sense of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The photograph not only serves as a visual representation of the geographical feature but also as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of Central Syria during the late 1800s. The image, though devoid of color, is rich in detail and emotion, inviting viewers to explore the beauty and wonder of this ancient land. This photograph, an enigma from the past, continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the power of travel and the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations. The image, though unsigned, is a testament to the enduring allure of the unknown and the beauty of the natural world.
