EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the rich history of Syria through the captivating views captured in this beautiful handcoloured copperplate engraving from the 1819 publication, 'Scenes in Asia' by Rev. Isaac Taylor. This collection of images was designed for the 'amusement and instruction' of young readers, providing a glimpse into a world far removed from their own. The first image showcases the ruins of the ancient city of Palmyra, or Tadmor, located in the Syrian desert. With its towering columns and grand architecture, this once-mighty city is a testament to the civilization that thrived there over 2,000 years ago. Next, we see the bustling bazaar in Aleppo, Syria's largest city. The vibrant marketplace is filled with merchants selling their wares, and the sounds and smells of the Middle East come alive. The third image captures a weaver at work in Damascus, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. Here, we see the intricate process of creating damask fabric, a traditional Syrian textile known for its distinctive pattern. These views offer a unique window into Syria's past, providing a glimpse into the daily life and culture of the region during the early 19th century. From the ruins of ancient cities to the bustling markets and traditional crafts, this engraving invites us to explore the history and beauty of Syria.
