EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "General view of Beitin (Bethel), c. 1880-1900" takes us on a journey to the heart of Palestine in the late 19th century. Captured by an anonymous Swiss photographer, this image showcases the enchanting landscape and traditional life in Beitin. The photograph's vibrant colors, achieved through the innovative technique of photochrom printing by the Photochrom Co. Zurich, bring to life every detail of this Middle Eastern village. The rocky terrain surrounding Beitin adds a touch of rugged beauty to the scene, while also highlighting its isolation from neighboring towns. In this snapshot, we see both male and female figures seated amidst their picturesque surroundings. The women are adorned in stunning traditional dresses and veils that reflect their Palestinian heritage with pride. Their presence adds a sense of grace and elegance to an already mesmerizing composition. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness daily life unfolding within these ancient walls. This photograph serves as a testament not only to the skillful eye behind the lens but also as a window into a world long gone. Preserved by London's Palestine Exploration Fund and made available for public viewing thanks to Bridgeman Images, this remarkable piece invites us all to appreciate the rich cultural tapestry that is Palestine's history through photography's lens
