EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Views in Jeddah, the Scene of the Recent Outbreak" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Henry William Brewer and part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into Jeddah's landscape during the late 19th century. The image showcases various aspects of life in Jeddah at that time. The British consulate stands tall amidst the fortifications, symbolizing the presence of European influence in this Arabian city. The architecture reflects both Eastern and Western styles, blending together harmoniously. Intriguingly, we see glimpses of daily life within these walls. People stroll along the European promenade while others gather near Mecca Gate. This bustling town comes alive with activity during pilgrim season as depicted by a cricket match being played nearby. The air is filled with an aura of mystery and history as our eyes wander towards Ummana el Howah and Eve's Tomb – landmarks that hold significance for locals and visitors alike. The fortified ramparts remind us of Jeddah's strategic importance as a trading hub on the Red Sea coast. It serves not only as protection but also represents centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. Through this detailed engraving, Brewer captures both the beauty and complexity of Jeddah's past. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported to another era where cultures converged against an enchanting backdrop that still resonates today.
