EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at Hadatt Railway Station in Beirut, Lebanon, circa 1902. The image showcases the hustle and bustle of provincial life as people from all walks of life gather to board the trains that would transport them to their destinations. The rail transport system was a vital artery of connection between different regions of Lebanon and beyond, making it an essential part of daily life for many. In the foreground, a queue of Lebanese men, dressed in traditional clothing, patiently wait their turn to enter the station gates. The men's attire, consisting of long robes and headdresses, adds to the sense of history and tradition that permeates the scene. Behind them, a line of horse-drawn cabs wait to ferry passengers to their final destinations, demonstrating the interconnectedness of various modes of transportation during this era. The station itself is a bustling hub of activity, with people milling about, porters carrying luggage, and trains coming and going. The intricate details of the station architecture, from the ornate ironwork to the tiled floors, speak to the European influence that shaped much of Lebanon's infrastructure during this period. Despite the apparent chaos, there is a sense of order and routine in the scene, as everyone goes about their daily business with purpose and determination. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the vibrant and diverse community that thrived in Beirut over a century ago.
