EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vast Syrian desert in 1937, a time when railways, motor routes, and pipelines were transforming the landscape. Created by Emery Walker Ltd for Christina Phelps Grant's book "The Syrian Desert: Caravans, Travel and Exploration" this image offers a glimpse into the intricate network of transportation and trade that shaped the region. Intricately detailed, the print showcases an amalgamation of British influence on Middle Eastern geography during this era. The railway lines stretch across the arid terrain like lifelines connecting distant locations. Motor routes wind through sandy dunes, symbolizing progress and modernization in an otherwise harsh environment. The presence of pipelines hints at Syria's growing role in the oil industry as it became a crucial player in global trade. This visual representation highlights both Britain's involvement in shaping infrastructure as well as Syria's strategic importance within geopolitical dynamics. As we observe this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where cartography played a vital role in understanding geographical features. The meticulous engravings bring forth not only practical information but also evoke a sense of wonder about exploration and journeying through unknown territories. This remarkable print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability amidst challenging landscapes while reminding us of our ever-evolving relationship with travel, transport, and industry.
