EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Damascus in 1890, a city steeped in rich history. The creator of this mesmerizing image remains unknown, but their lens has beautifully captured the essence of this ancient capital. Damascus, once conquered by the Muslim-Arab general Khalid ibn al-Walid in the 7th century AD, stands as a testament to its enduring legacy. As we gaze at this distant landscape, we are transported through time and space. The cloudy night sky adds an air of mystery to the scene, while the moonlight casts an ethereal glow upon the rooftops of Damascus. From this vantage point on a rooftop plateau, one can almost feel the weight of centuries past. Intriguingly framed within Cassell's Illustrated Universal History book from 1890 by Edmund Ollier, this engraving evokes both literature and science. It reminds us that even amidst medieval times, knowledge flourished under these celestial skies. As we contemplate this monochrome masterpiece today, it serves as a powerful reminder of our connection to history and culture. This print invites us to explore not only Damascus' architectural beauty but also its place within Syria's diverse tapestry. While its creator may remain anonymous and commercial use is not mentioned here, let us appreciate how artistry can transport us across continents and centuries with just one click of a camera shutter or stroke of an artist's brush.
