EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking panoramic view of Beirut, Lebanon, captured circa 1890 by the renowned Bonfils studio, offers a glimpse into the past of this historic Mediterranean city. The image showcases the vibrant and bustling port area, with ships anchored in the harbor and the iconic Pigeon Rocks jutting out into the sea. The city's diverse architecture is on full display, from the Ottoman-style buildings with their intricate detailing to the more modern European structures. The lush green hills that surround Beirut can be seen in the background, providing a stunning contrast to the urban landscape. The crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean reflect the blue sky, adding to the serene beauty of the scene. It is believed that this panoramic view was taken from the Corniche, a popular promenade that still attracts visitors today. At the time this photograph was taken, Beirut was a thriving cultural and commercial hub. It was known as the "Pearl of the East" and was a melting pot of various religions and ethnicities. The city's strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa made it an important trading center. This panoramic view of Beirut is a testament to the city's rich history and its ability to endure through the centuries. Despite the challenges it has faced, Beirut remains a vibrant and resilient city that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
