EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Cawas of the French Consulate in Beirut, a figure of authority and influence in 19th century Lebanon. The photograph, taken by Charles Lallemand in 1865 as part of his series on Syrian costumes, voyages, and landscapes, offers a glimpse into the cultural richness and diversity of the region during that time.
Cawas stands confidently before the camera, dressed in traditional Lebanese attire that speaks to his status and position within society. His gaze is steady and commanding, reflecting both strength and sophistication. The intricate details of his clothing highlight the craftsmanship and artistry that were valued in Arab civilization.
Through Lallemand's lens, we are transported back to a moment in history where East met West, where tradition intertwined with modernity. The composition is striking yet intimate, inviting us to ponder the complexities of identity and heritage.
This rare image is now housed in a private collection, a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit. It serves as a reminder of the power of photography to preserve moments from the past and shed light on forgotten narratives.
As we admire this portrait of Cawas against the backdrop of Beirut's bustling streetscape, we are reminded of the enduring legacy he left behind – one that continues to shape our understanding of Lebanese culture today.
