EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bringing Cedar from Lebanon, 1890" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into ancient woodworking practices. The image showcases the immense effort undertaken by men in transporting Lebanese cedar (Cedrus libani), a highly valued source of timber. The aerial view allows us to appreciate the vastness of the forest as a horse-drawn wagon navigates through it. The monochrome engraving adds an element of timelessness and historic significance to this scene. It is fascinating to witness how people in the past recognized the value of these majestic trees for their craftsmanship. The unknown creator captures both man's ingenuity and his harmonious relationship with nature. This portrait reminds us that even centuries ago, deforestation was already a concern as humans sought out valuable resources like cedarwood. However, it also highlights our ability to adapt and overcome adversity by finding sustainable ways to transport goods. Displayed in Edmund Ollier's book "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" this print provides insight into early Greek history while emphasizing humanity's long-standing reliance on plants for various purposes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time, appreciating not only its artistic beauty but also reflecting on our own responsibility towards preserving our natural heritage.
