EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the enchanting ancient city of Palmyra, Syria. Dating back to the early 20th century, this lantern slide presents an exquisite image of the monumental ruins bathed in the soft glow of twilight. Palmyra, also known as Tadmur, was a prominent cultural center and ancient city located in the eastern part of the Syrian Desert. Renowned for its rich history and unique architecture, the city was a significant stop along the ancient trade routes, attracting travelers and explorers from all corners of the world. The photograph showcases the grandeur of the ancient city, with its impressive temples and monumental structures standing proudly against the backdrop of the arid Syrian landscape. The Temple of Bel, the most iconic structure in the image, is illuminated by the setting sun, casting long shadows and creating a magical atmosphere. The Victorian and Edwardian eras, during which this photograph was taken, were marked by a fascination with the exotic and the ancient. Travelers from Europe and North America would embark on grand tours to explore the wonders of the world, capturing their experiences through photography. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Palmyra and the captivating history it holds. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that exists in the world and the importance of preserving it for future generations. The ancient city of Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has faced numerous challenges in recent years, including destruction caused by conflict and natural disasters. The resilience of this ancient city and its people continues to inspire us, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of its beauty and significance.
