EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Giant Cities of Bashan" an engraving created by the English School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on November 1st, 1873. Transporting us back in time, this image offers a glimpse into the topography and archaeology of ancient Syria. It captures the majestic ruins of El Karayeh, Um Busran, Bosia, Suweldeh, Busan, Zeitoon, Qanawat, Salkhad, Musmieh and Kanawat – all once thriving cities within the region known as Bashan. These magnificent remnants stand as testaments to a rich historical past that has fascinated scholars and explorers alike. Each city tells its own story through crumbling walls and weathered structures that whisper tales of grandeur and resilience. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported to a time when these cities flourished with life. We can almost hear echoes of bustling markets filled with merchants trading exotic goods or imagine citizens going about their daily lives amidst architectural marvels. Through this photograph print's lens on history and archaeology lies an invitation to explore our human heritage further. It reminds us that even in ruins lie stories waiting to be discovered – stories that connect us to
