EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken by the renowned English photographer Francis Bedford during the late 19th century, captures a breathtaking view of the Lake of Tiberias, also known as the Sea of Galilee, in the early days of travel to the Middle East. The image was taken during the Prince of Wales's journey to the region in 1862, showcasing the picturesque scenery that drew travellers from around the world. The photograph presents a panoramic view of the lake, with its calm, shimmering waters reflecting the surrounding landscape. In the foreground, traditional Middle Eastern buildings and structures can be seen, their ancient architecture a testament to the rich cultural history of the region. The town of Tiberias, with its bustling streets and vibrant city life, can be glimpsed in the background, adding to the intrigue and allure of this exotic destination. The image, an albumen print, exudes an air of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us back to an era when travel was an adventure and the world seemed full of new discoveries. The photograph is a valuable historical document, offering a unique insight into the early days of tourism in the Middle East and the fascination that the region held for intrepid travellers of the time. This evocative image is a must-have for any collection of vintage travel photographs, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the Middle East and its rich cultural heritage.
