EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment between an Arab kawass, or Ottoman guard, and a young boy in the serene garden of a house in the Judea District of Jerusalem. Taken in 1867 by Sergeant Henry Phillips, this image offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Palestine during that era. The Arab kawass, dressed immaculately in traditional attire, exudes an air of authority as he sits beside the child. His scimitar rests peacefully at his side, symbolizing both protection and power. The young boy, adorned in his own traditional costume, gazes up at the kawass with admiration and curiosity. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only the stark contrast between generations but also the passing down of customs from one to another. It is evident that this encounter holds great significance for both individuals involved - perhaps it represents mentorship or guidance being imparted upon the younger generation. As we delve deeper into this historical scene captured by Phillips' lens under the auspices of Palestine Exploration Fund's expeditionary work, we are reminded of how photography can serve as a powerful tool for documenting cultures long gone. This print serves as a testament to our shared human experience across time and space while shedding light on Jerusalem's diverse past.
