EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Hama, Syria in 1898. The image showcases a mesmerizing sight - a double waterwheel gracefully spinning in perfect harmony. These ancient structures, known as norias, have been an integral part of Hama's landscape for centuries. The photographer skillfully captures the intricate details of these massive wooden wheels, which were ingeniously designed to harness the power of the Orontes River. As they rotate, their buckets dip into the flowing waters and lift it upwards to irrigate nearby fields and gardens. The scene is bathed in warm sunlight, casting enchanting shadows on the surrounding architecture. The city's traditional stone buildings provide a picturesque backdrop for this timeless marvel of engineering. Looking at this photograph evokes a sense of awe and wonder at human ingenuity throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even in simpler times, people found innovative ways to harness nature's resources sustainably. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into life over a century ago when communities relied on such ingenious inventions for their survival and prosperity.
