EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Damascus, Syria in the 1920s or 1930s. The image captures a water carrier, his head adorned with a traditional headdress and headscarf, standing proudly on a busy street corner. In this vibrant Middle Eastern city, where refreshment is essential under the scorching sun, water carriers like him played an important role. With a large container balanced effortlessly on his shoulder, this hardworking man navigates through the crowded lane offering relief to parched passersby. His occupation as a street trader involved selling precious water to those in need. As we gaze at this portrait frozen in time, we can almost feel the energy of the people around him going about their daily lives. Damascus itself serves as both backdrop and character in this snapshot from history. Its narrow roads and ancient architecture provide an atmospheric setting for trade and commerce to thrive. This unknown photographer has captured not only one man's profession but also glimpses into Syrian culture during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to this intriguing image, reminding us of simpler times when life revolved around basic necessities such as water. It is thanks to these remarkable prints that we are able to connect with our past and appreciate the rich tapestry of human existence across different countries and centuries.
