EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Women of Syria embroidering" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of Syrian women during that time. The image showcases a group of ladies engrossed in their embroidery work, showcasing their skills and creativity. The intricate details of the embroidery are beautifully captured in this engraving by an unknown English School artist. It is believed to have been created for the book "The Land of the Bible, Its Sacred Heroes and Wonderful Story" published by Ward Lock around 1880. The composition transports us to a land steeped in history and tradition - Syria, part of the Arab civilization. These women represent not only their country but also Middle Eastern culture as they diligently create stunning pieces with needle and thread. Their dedication to this ancient craft highlights both their feminine strength and artistic abilities. Embroidery has long been associated with storytelling, preserving cultural heritage through delicate stitches passed down from generation to generation. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and connect us with different eras. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and creativity found within Syrian society while shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of daily life in the region during that period.
