EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia print titled "The Cedars of Lebanon" takes us on a journey to the majestic mountains of Lebanon. The photograph, engraved by Freeman and captured by Marilhat, showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of these ancient trees. Known as the Cedars of Solomon on Mount Lebanon, these magnificent trees have been celebrated for their remarkable splendor and commercial value since ancient times. With only about 300 remaining today, some dating back over a millennium, they hold an extraordinary place in history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a serene landscape where monumental cedars rise towards the heavens. Their massive trunks stand tall against the mountainous backdrop, creating a sense of grandeur and timelessness. In this scene, one particular cedar catches our attention – its size is truly astonishing. A male figure rests beneath its branches, perhaps seeking solace or finding inspiration amidst nature's wonders. The presence of timber trade alludes to both the practical use and economic significance that these trees held throughout history. Photographed with exquisite detail and artistry by mzphoto from Bridgeman Images' private collection, this print captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes a sense of reverence for nature's enduring power. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there are still places where ancient giants like these cedars can be found – standing as silent witnesses to centuries gone by.
