EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and entertainment in the ancient city of Aleppo, Syria, during the 1920s. The image, taken at the Citadel, a medieval fortress and palace complex, shows a group of Arab musicians performing for a large and enthusiastic crowd. The musicians, dressed in traditional garb, play various instruments, including a tambourine and a lute-like instrument, as onlookers clap and cheer. A camel and its rider can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of otherworldliness and intrigue. The Citadel, with its impressive gatehouse, entrance steps, and massive walls, looms in the background, a testament to the rich history and culture of this once-great city. The photograph, taken in 1923, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of Aleppo during a time of relative peace and prosperity before the turbulent decades that followed. The Arab play and music performance was a beloved form of entertainment for the local population, bringing people together to celebrate their heritage and traditions.
