EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the ancient city of Baalbec, also known as Heliopolis, in Egypt. Taken in 1841 by artist Robert Sands, this engraving showcases the majestic Great Temple at Baalbec. The ruins of this once magnificent temple stand tall, adorned with towering pillars and columns that evoke a sense of awe and wonder. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history and religious significance associated with Baalbec. From biblical times to Christianity's influence in the region, this location has played a pivotal role in shaping our understanding of faith and spirituality. The 19th century publication "Syria, the Holy land and Asia Minor" by John Carne immortalizes these ruins for generations to come. It serves as a testament to mankind's fascination with ancient civilizations and their architectural marvels. Intriguingly enough, legends suggest that King Solomon himself had a hand in constructing parts of this great temple. This adds an extra layer of mystique to an already captivating scene captured by Sands' skilled hand. Through William Henry Bartlett's involvement in producing this print alongside Sands and Carne, we can appreciate how collaboration among talented individuals brings forth works that transcend time itself. The monochrome aesthetic further enhances the solemnity surrounding these ruins while allowing us to focus on intricate details that might otherwise be overlooked. As we delve into its depths, let us immerse ourselves in the grandeur of Baalbec's
