Natives and Costumes in Syria - The Stone Towns of Central Syria, otherwise known as the Giant Cities of Bashan,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing photograph taken in the late 1870s, showcasing the Syrian people in their traditional attire against the backdrop of ancient stone towns. The image is from Henry Walter Bates' "Illustrated Travels," published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London. Bates, an English travel writer, captured this moment in time, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Syria during the 19th century. The photograph features a group of Syrian men and women, dressed in their traditional clothing, standing before the magnificent stone structures that define the region's architecture. The women are dressed in long, flowing robes, often with intricate patterns and embroidery, while their heads are covered with colorful scarves. The men wear long, loose-fitting garments, typically with a robe or a long shirt, and a headdress or a turban. The setting of the photograph is the Stone Towns of Central Syria, also known as the Giant Cities of Bashan. These ancient settlements, with their towering stone buildings and narrow streets, have stood the test of time, offering a unique blend of history and culture. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of traditional costumes and the importance of preserving cultural heritage. It also highlights the captivating beauty of Syria's ancient stone towns, which continue to attract travelers and historians alike. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of travel literature, history, or art, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural tapestry that exists in the world. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their work continues to inspire and intrigue, providing a window into the past and a connection to the present.
