EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically to Syria in 1902. The image showcases a young Syrian girl standing gracefully by a spring, her presence exuding both strength and vulnerability. Dressed in traditional attire that reflects her Asian heritage, she stands as a representation of the diverse cultures that make up this fascinating continent. The print captures not only the beauty of the girl but also provides insight into the geography and ethnography of Syria during this era. The water jar she holds symbolizes her role as a collector, highlighting the importance of water in daily life within an empire - the Ottoman Empire - which once ruled over this land. Through its detailed portrayal, this lithograph from "The Living Races of Mankind" offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate and understand different races and ethnicities from around the world. It serves as a reminder of our shared humanity despite our cultural differences. Preserved through time by The Print Collector29 (not affiliated with any company), this historical artifact invites us to reflect on how societies have evolved since then while celebrating their rich past. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are transported back to an era where traditions were cherished and diversity was celebrated – reminding us that every culture has its own story worth exploring.
