EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, depicts a view of the historic wall over which St. Paul is believed to have escaped from Damascus, Syria. The image transports us back in time to the 19th century, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the past. The picturesque scene is set against the backdrop of the ancient city, with its vibrant colors and intricate architectural details. St. Paul, a key figure in Christian history, recounts his dramatic escape from Damascus in the New Testament of the Bible. After his conversion on the road to Damascus, he was taken by the Romans as a prisoner to the city. According to tradition, he was lowered in a basket over the wall to evade his captors and continue his missionary journey. This coloured photograph, produced using the photochrom process, adds an extra layer of richness and depth to the image. The process, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, allowed for the creation of highly detailed and vibrant prints. The wall, a testament to the city's rich history, stands tall and proud, its weathered stones bearing witness to the countless stories and events that have unfolded within its confines. The image evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity, inviting us to explore the mysteries of the past and the wonders of the Holy Land.
