EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling streets of a Middle Eastern marketplace in the 1910s, the resilient figure of a Syrian porter stands out. With a determined expression on his face, he carries the unimaginable weight of two enormous trunks balanced precariously on his back. The trunks, adorned with intricate patterns and ornate straps, appear to be almost as tall as the porter himself. The straps are tightly secured around his forehead and chest, as he leans forward, bracing himself against the heavy load. His powerful arms are outstretched, gripping the trunks with all of his strength. Sweat drips from his brow as he takes a deep breath, the weight of the trunks pressing heavily against his back. Despite the obvious strain, his posture remains unbroken, a testament to the incredible strength and endurance of these hardworking men. The porter's animalistic grunt echoes through the marketplace, a reminder of the manual labor that was once the backbone of transportation in the Middle East. The image captures a moment of raw human strength and determination, as the porter carries on with his daily task, oblivious to the awe and admiration of onlookers.
