EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by H. Chapuis, titled "Christians, oil dealers in Jerusalem" offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of the ancient city. The image was created to illustrate M. Lortet's book, "La Syria d aujourd hui" which explores various aspects of Syrian culture and society. In this scene, we see a group of Christian merchants engaged in their trade as oil dealers. The men and women are dressed in traditional attire, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. A young girl stands beside one of the merchants, perhaps learning the family business or assisting with daily tasks. The setting is vibrant and full of energy, with market stalls lining the street behind them. Large jugs filled with oil are prominently displayed on wooden crates, ready for sale to passersby. This depiction highlights not only the importance of commerce but also how religion plays a significant role in shaping daily life in Jerusalem. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life; every line etched onto paper tells a story about Arab civilization during that time period. Through this engraving, viewers can transport themselves back to 19th-century Jerusalem and gain insight into its diverse religious communities and thriving street trade. Leonard de Selva's photograph captures this remarkable artwork from his private collection for all to appreciate today.
