EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Citadel of Sidon, April 28th 1839" takes us back in time to the enchanting landscapes of the Holy Land. Captured by the talented artist David Roberts and engraved by Louis Haghe, this image is a true masterpiece from Volume II of The Holy Land. The photograph showcases the majestic Citadel of Sidon standing tall against a picturesque backdrop. Its ancient walls exude strength and resilience as they overlook the bustling port below. A small fishing boat peacefully glides through the calm waters, its occupants skillfully casting their nets into the sea. Intriguingly, two dogs can be seen playfully running along the sandy beach nearby. Their presence adds an element of liveliness to this serene scene, reminding us that life thrives even amidst historical landmarks. The composition beautifully captures both orientalist elements and everyday activities taking place in Saida (Sidon). It transports us to a time when fishing was not only a means for survival but also an art form passed down through generations. This remarkable print measures approximately 24x34.3 cm and belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. With its impeccable detail and timeless charm, it serves as a window into history - inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of cultures that once flourished within these ancient walls.
