EDITORS COMMENTS
This view from the southwest of Lydda, a historic city in the Holy Land (now Israel), dates back to the late 19th century. The photograph, likely taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, showcases the picturesque landscape of this ancient town nestled amidst the arid, rolling hills. The vibrant colors of the image, achieved through the Photochrom process, add a nostalgic touch to this historical snapshot. Lydda, also known as Lod in modern times, has a rich history that spans thousands of years. It was a significant city during the Crusades and has been ruled by various empires throughout history, including the Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans. The city's religious significance is evident in the various sites of worship visible in the photograph, including the Church of St. George and the Mosque of Sayyida Ruqayya. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was slower-paced and life was simpler. The old stone buildings, narrow streets, and lush gardens in the foreground contrast sharply with the vast, open landscape in the background, creating a striking juxtaposition. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people who lived in this region during that time, providing valuable insights into the history and culture of the Holy Land. This coloured print, with its nostalgic charm and historical significance, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East or the evolution of photography. It serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of history that lies hidden in the pages of the past, waiting to be explored and appreciated.
