EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the Hajj ritual in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The image showcases Muslim pilgrims engaged in the age-old tradition of stoning the "Great Devil" in the city of Mina, located east of Mecca. This sacred act is beautifully illustrated in Sir Richard Burton's book Pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina from 1856. The lithograph portrays a bustling crowd of devoted individuals gathered together to fulfill their religious duty. Each person plays an integral part in this symbolic gesture, representing their rejection of evil and reaffirming their commitment to righteousness. The atmosphere depicted is one filled with devotion, unity, and spiritual energy as Muslims from all walks of life come together for this profound pilgrimage experience. The diversity among the worshippers is evident through their varied attire and languages spoken - English, Arabic, and more. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork from the 19th century carousel collection by Francis Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back in time to witness a timeless tradition that continues to be practiced today. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power and significance behind rituals such as these which have been passed down through generations.
