EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Women of Latakia" offers a glimpse into the lives of Syrian women in the late 19th century. The image is part of Louis Charles Emile Lortet's renowned collection, "La Syrie d aujourd hui" which documented his travels through Phoenicia, Lebanon, and Judea between 1875 and 1880. The photograph showcases three elegant women dressed in traditional costumes from Latakia. They are adorned with beautiful robes and veils that reflect their cultural heritage. One woman can be seen smoking a narghileh (hookah), adding an air of mystery to the scene. The attire worn by these women represents both tradition and religious customs prevalent in the Middle East during that era. Their headdresses serve as symbols of modesty and respect within Islamic culture. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a testament to the rich history and diversity found within Syria's borders. It reminds us of the importance of preserving cultural traditions while embracing modernity. As we admire this artwork captured by Gerard Degeorge, let us appreciate its historical significance as well as its artistic beauty. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time, allowing us to connect with different periods and cultures across generations.
