EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history as Christians from Damascus make the difficult decision to emigrate to Beirut. The illustration, originally published in Le Monde Illustré on November 24,1860, showcases the artist's skillful lithography technique. In this scene of displacement and conflict, we witness the tragedy faced by Syrian exiles during a time of war and religious tensions. The image portrays a group of Maronites leaving their homeland behind, seeking refuge in Lebanon due to escalating conflicts with Druze Muslims. The artist Dumont masterfully depicts the emotions etched on their faces as they bid farewell to Damascus. Their journey is fraught with uncertainty and despair, yet there is also a glimmer of hope for a better future. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring human spirit amidst adversity. It highlights not only the struggles faced by these individuals but also sheds light on larger themes such as migration and religious persecution that continue to resonate today. As we gaze upon this historical artifact preserved in private collection, let us reflect upon the resilience displayed by those who have been forced into exile throughout history. May it serve as an inspiration for compassion and understanding towards all those affected by similar circumstances around the world.
