EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, captured by artist Henry Adlard in 1841, transports us to a significant moment in history. The image depicts Hadgi (Mecca pilgrims) encamped near Antioch, on the banks of the Orontes River in Turkey. These devout individuals have embarked on a pilgrimage from various parts of Asia, converging at this sacred location. The encampment is filled with an array of tents that stretch as far as the eye can see, creating a mesmerizing sight against the backdrop of Anatolia's stunning geography. As we observe this scene, it becomes evident that religion knows no boundaries or limitations; people from different countries and continents have come together for their shared faith. Intriguingly, this engraving not only showcases Islamic traditions but also highlights the coexistence of Christianity within this region. It serves as a reminder that religious diversity has long been part of our world's fabric. Adlard's attention to detail brings life to each figure present in the encampment - men and women dressed in traditional attire engaged in prayer or engaging with one another. This visual representation allows us to glimpse into their spiritual journey and experience a sense of reverence alongside them. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from "Syria, the Holy land and Asia Minor" we are reminded of both the historical significance and timeless nature of pilgrimage - an enduring testament to human devotion across centuries.
