EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the enchanting Stone Pine Avenue in Beirut, Lebanon. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and beauty of this Middle Eastern city. The Stone Pine Avenue, also known as the "Avenue des Pins," was a popular promenade and symbol of Beirut's elegance during the Ottoman and French Mandate periods. The avenue was lined with majestic stone pines, their long, slender needles reaching towards the sky, providing shade and a refreshing respite from the Mediterranean sun. The photograph captures the essence of Lebanon's unique blend of European and Middle Eastern influences. The stone pines, a common feature in both Lebanese and European landscapes, stand proudly alongside the ornate wrought-iron street lamps, reminiscent of those found in European cities. The cobblestone pathways underfoot and the horse-drawn carriages in the background further emphasize the European influence. Despite the passage of time, the Stone Pine Avenue remains an iconic part of Beirut's history. Today, the avenue has been transformed into a pedestrian walkway, where locals and tourists alike can stroll among the ancient stone pines, taking in the beauty and serenity of this historic site. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Beirut and its rich cultural heritage. It invites us to explore the past, while also reminding us of the importance of preserving historical sites for future generations to enjoy.
