EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating scene from the late 19th to early 20th century in the Jordan Valley. Western travellers, adorned in traditional Bedouin attire, stand proudly alongside their guides and trusty camels. The image, taken by a Swiss photographer and preserved by the Palestine Exploration Fund in London, showcases an intriguing blend of cultures. The travellers' meticulously crafted costumes reflect their deep appreciation for Middle Eastern traditions as they immerse themselves in the local culture. With headscarves elegantly draped over their heads and headdresses adding an air of authenticity, these adventurers have truly embraced the spirit of exploration. Posed confidently against the backdrop of this stunning landscape, both seated and standing figures exude curiosity and respect for their surroundings. The majestic camels serve as loyal companions on this journey through time. As we gaze upon this vibrant photochrome print made by Zurich's Photochrom Co. , we are transported back to an era when travel was a true adventure into unknown territories. It is evident that these Western tourists sought not only to witness but also to experience firsthand the beauty and customs of Jordanian life. This photograph serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with different cultures and our desire to connect with them on a deeper level. Through photography like this, we can appreciate how travel has always been about more than just sightseeing; it is about embracing new perspectives and immersing ourselves fully in unfamiliar worlds.
