EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of the Bazaar of Joppa, located in the ancient city of Simon, known as the tanner. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases a moment frozen in time. The image transports us to a vibrant marketplace filled with merchants and shoppers engaged in lively exchanges. The narrow streets are lined with stalls overflowing with colorful fabrics, exotic spices, and various goods from distant lands. The architecture surrounding the bazaar reflects its rich history, featuring intricately designed buildings that have stood for centuries. The City of Simon was renowned for its thriving trade and skilled craftsmen like tanners who worked diligently to produce high-quality leather products. This photo provides a glimpse into their world as we see glimpses of hides being cured and transformed into fine leather goods. Originally published as an illustration for "Early Footsteps of The Man of Galilee" by Hammond in 1894, this print offers us a window into both historical documentation and artistic expression. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and cultural exchange throughout time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the enduring power that photography holds - capturing moments that would otherwise be lost to history while allowing us to appreciate our shared heritage.
