EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Collecting dung for fuel" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into a unique aspect of daily life. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases the resourcefulness of individuals in the Middle East during this era. Intriguingly, this image was originally published as an illustration for "The Land of the Bible, Its Sacred Heroes and Wonderful Story" in Ward Lock's publication around 1880. It sheds light on a lesser-known practice that was prevalent at that time - using dung as fuel. The black and white composition adds depth to the scene while emphasizing its historical significance. We see individuals diligently collecting dung, which served as their primary source of fuel in an era before modern energy alternatives like petrol or gas became widely accessible. This engraving not only highlights the ingenuity of people living in these regions but also provides valuable insight into their everyday lives. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, communities have adapted to their surroundings with innovative solutions born out of necessity. As we contemplate this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it invites us to appreciate how different cultures have found sustainable ways to meet their basic needs even amidst challenging circumstances.
