The Harvest of Frankincense in Arabia
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a mesmerizing scene from the ancient practice of collecting this precious resin. This engraving, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, takes us on a journey to Arabia, where the air is filled with the aromatic scent of frankincense. The image showcases a group of local workers diligently engaged in harvesting frankincense from Boswellia trees. With their skilled hands and traditional tools, they carefully extract drops of resin that will later be transformed into incense or used for medicinal purposes. This print is an illustration for "The Book of Ser Marco Polo" translated and edited by Henry Yule. It offers us a glimpse into the historical travels and adventures described in this renowned book. As we admire this digitally cleaned image from a private collection, we are transported back in time to witness one aspect of life during Marco Polo's exploration through Asia. Through this artwork, we can appreciate both the cultural significance and economic value attached to frankincense production in ancient Arabia. It serves as a reminder that history often unfolds through small yet remarkable details like these harvesters' dedication and expertise. Let this enchanting engraving immerse you in the rich tapestry of Arabian history while igniting your imagination about far-off lands and exotic journeys taken by explorers like Marco Polo.
