EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless scene of Lebanese women skillfully making bread in front of their house, dating back to the late 19th century. Taken by a Swiss photographer and preserved by the Palestine Exploration Fund in London, this photochrom print showcases the vibrant colors and intricate details of the original scene. In traditional Middle Eastern attire, these women stand and sit gracefully as they engage in the age-old practice of baking bread. With focused expressions on their faces, they expertly roll out dough on a street lined with rustic buildings. A young child observes attentively nearby, perhaps learning the art from her elders. The composition exudes an air of warmth and community as neighbors pass by or stop to chat amidst this bustling street scene. The aroma of freshly baked bread wafts through the air, inviting all who pass to partake in its deliciousness. Through this photograph's vivid hues and meticulous craftsmanship, we are transported back in time to witness not only a daily routine but also an important cultural tradition that has been passed down through generations. It serves as a testament to both the resilience and creativity of Lebanese women who have played an integral role in sustaining their communities for centuries. This remarkable image is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it is an homage to heritage and a celebration of female strength within Middle Eastern culture.
