EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Western side of the Ruins of the Temple of the Sun, Palmyra" takes us on a journey through time to explore the ancient wonders of the Middle East. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the remarkable architecture and rich history found within Palmyra. The image transports us to a sunlit courtyard adorned with majestic columns and intricate brackets. The ruins stand as a testament to the grandeur and sophistication that once graced this magnificent temple. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost feel ourselves walking along its colonnade, marveling at each finely carved detail. Palmyra's Western side is bathed in warm sunlight, casting long shadows that add depth and mystery to these ancient structures. It is easy to imagine how worshippers would have gathered here centuries ago, seeking solace or offering prayers beneath the watchful eye of the sun god. This engraving was originally featured in "Picturesque Palestine" edited by Sir Charles Wilson around 1880. Its inclusion in this publication speaks volumes about its significance as both a work of art and historical documentation. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it serve as a reminder of our shared human heritage and ignite our curiosity for exploring distant lands steeped in antiquity.
