EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of discipline in a Syrian household from the early 1910s. The image presents a domestic situation that transports us back in time, as the Mistress of the house sternly punishes her serving maid. Dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, the Mistress stands over the young girl, her expression conveying authority and resolve. The servant girl, with downcast eyes and trembling hands, crouches on the ornate, tiled floor, her body language conveying submission and fear. The interior of the room is richly decorated, with intricate patterns adorning the walls and a lavishly embroidered tambourine lying nearby. The scene exudes an air of history and tradition, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a Syrian household during this period. The use of natural light and the composition of the image add to its authenticity and emotional impact. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the intricacies of domestic life in the Middle East at the turn of the 20th century.
