EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1910, transports us to the ancient city of Hama in Syria. The image showcases a remarkable sight - an aqueduct and a noria gracefully standing on the Orontes River. The aqueduct, an architectural marvel from centuries past, stretches across the river with its grand arches reaching for the sky. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess even during that early period of time. Intriguingly positioned next to the aqueduct is a noria, a traditional waterwheel commonly found in this region. This ingenious device harnesses the power of flowing water to lift it up into buckets or containers for various purposes such as irrigation or milling grain. The serene waters of the Orontes River flow gently beneath these structures, reflecting their timeless beauty. The surrounding landscape exudes tranquility with lush greenery framing this picturesque scene. This photograph captures not only historical architecture but also offers us a glimpse into daily life at turn-of-the-century Syria. It reminds us of our shared human history and how communities have relied on innovative methods like aqueducts and norias to sustain themselves throughout generations. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing such moments in time and the rich cultural heritage that exists within Syria's landscapes.
