EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stunning view of the Beach of Beirut, Lebanon, as seen from the deck of a Royal Navy cruiser in 1924. The Lebanese coastline, with Beirut (Beyrouth) as its crown jewel, stretches out before the ship, its sandy beaches dotted with sunbathers and swimmers enjoying the warm Mediterranean waters. The bustling town of Beirut, the country's capital, can be seen in the distance, its white buildings and colorful rooftops rising above the palm trees and other vegetation. The year was 1924, a time when Beirut was known as the "Paris of the Middle East" for its cosmopolitan atmosphere and vibrant cultural scene. The city was a melting pot of various ethnic and religious communities, and its streets were filled with cafes, shops, and markets selling a rich array of goods from around the world. Despite the tranquility depicted in this image, the 1920s were a period of significant political and social change in Lebanon. The country was under French mandate, and tensions between various factions were simmering beneath the surface. But for a moment, as the sun sets over the Mediterranean, the beauty and serenity of the Beach of Beirut shines through, a reminder of the enduring allure of the Lebanese coast.
