EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated circa 1908, offers a glimpse into the past of Izra, Syria, with a partial view south toward the airport and rail station. The image showcases a bustling scene of activity, as people and animals move about the area with a sense of purpose. In the foreground, a row of tents can be seen, possibly indicating the presence of a temporary camp or encampment. Military personnel can be spotted in the background, likely preparing for transport or transportation duties. The rail station, or "gare" in French, dominates the scene, with its grand architecture and intricate details. Trains, a vital mode of transportation during this era, can be seen parked nearby, ready to carry passengers and cargo to their respective destinations. The airport, though not visible in its entirety, is suggested by the presence of several planes and aircraft parts in the bottom right corner of the photograph. The southern part of Izra, as depicted in this image, was a hub of transportation and military activity during this time. The railways and airports played a crucial role in connecting Syria to the rest of the world, facilitating trade, commerce, and the movement of people. This photograph provides a fascinating window into the rich history of Izra and its role as a transportation hub in the early 20th century.
