EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, showcases a general view of the legendary Cedars of Lebanon in the Holy Land. The Cedars of Lebanon are an iconic symbol of Lebanon and hold significant historical, religious, and cultural importance. This picturesque scene transports us back in time, evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long past. The image, taken during the 19th century, is a coloured photograph, likely produced using the Photochrom process. This process involved creating a series of photographs, which were then hand-coloured by skilled artists. The result is a vivid, lifelike image that captures the essence of the scene. The Cedars of Lebanon forest, located in the Shouf Mountains, is home to some of the oldest cedar trees in the world. These majestic trees have been revered for thousands of years, with mentions of them appearing in the Bible and other ancient texts. The cedars were once used extensively for building materials due to their durability and resistance to rot. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of these ancient trees. The image captures the grandeur of the Cedars of Lebanon, with their towering trunks and lush, green foliage, standing proud against a clear blue sky. The scene is peaceful and serene, inviting us to pause and reflect on the history and significance of this remarkable place.
