EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Charles H. Gabriel takes us back to the bustling streets of Damascus in the 1930s. As we gaze upon this snapshot from Our Wonderful World, Volume IV, edited by J. A. Hammerton, we are transported to a time when trade and commerce thrived in this ancient city. The image captures an avenue lined with awnings and blinds that provide shelter from the scorching sun. The street is teeming with people - men and women alike - engaged in lively conversations as they navigate their way through a sea of market stalls. The air is filled with the sounds of haggling and laughter. In the foreground, a man pulls a cart loaded with goods while his mule patiently plods along beside him. This scene epitomizes the hustle and bustle of everyday life in Damascus during this era. The composition offers us a glimpse into both gender roles and social dynamics at play within Syrian society at that time. Women can be seen elegantly dressed, engaging in trade alongside their male counterparts. Charles H Gabriel's masterful perspective captures not only the essence of daily life but also highlights how transportation played an integral role in facilitating commerce within these vibrant markets. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to Syria's rich cultural heritage while reminding us of its enduring spirit amidst ever-changing
