EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "SYRIA: NORIAS, c1910" transports us back in time to the early 20th century in Hama, Syria. The image showcases a mesmerizing sight - the Norias on the Orontes River. These ancient water wheels, known as norias, have been an integral part of Hama's landscape for centuries. The photograph captures the grandeur of these towering structures against the backdrop of the tranquil river. Each wheel is meticulously crafted with wooden paddles that dip into the flowing waters below, harnessing its power to lift water from the river onto higher ground for irrigation purposes. The architectural beauty and engineering ingenuity displayed by these norias are awe-inspiring. They serve as a testament to Syria's rich history and cultural heritage. This snapshot offers a glimpse into daily life at that time when people relied on such ingenious mechanisms for their livelihoods. Taken around 1910, this photograph provides us with a valuable window into what life was like during this period in Syrian history. It allows us to appreciate not only the physical structures themselves but also their significance within society. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this remarkable piece of history through their collection of vintage photographs like this one. By showcasing images that capture moments frozen in time, they enable us to connect with different eras and cultures across our shared human experience.
