EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Syrian Outbreak, a Bashi-Bazouk of Beyrout" takes us back to the 19th century in Syria. The image showcases a military figure known as a Bashi-Bazouk from the city of Beyrout (now Beirut). Dressed in an intricately detailed uniform, this Bashi-Bazouk exudes power and authority. His attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region, with its vibrant patterns and ornate accessories. The artist has masterfully captured every intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating such uniforms. The context behind this print is equally intriguing - it was originally published in the Illustrated Times on August 11th, 1860 during what became known as "The Syrian Outbreak". This historical event marked a period of unrest and conflict in Syria. As we gaze upon this fascinating engraving, we are transported back in time to witness both the beauty of traditional dress and the turmoil that engulfed these lands. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture not only aesthetic appeal but also significant moments in history. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where military might clashed with political upheaval. Its presence reminds us to cherish our past while striving for peace and understanding in our present world.
