EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing scene of Akabah, where a line-up of majestic camels from a caravan is depicted. The engraving, skillfully created by G. Vuillier, was intended to illustrate Lady Anna Blunt's compelling story "Pelerinage au Nedjed, cradle of the Arab race" in 1878-1879. Published in the renowned Tour du Monde magazine under the guidance of Edouard Charton in 1882 Paris, this artwork holds historical significance. The image transports us to an era when camel caravans were essential for trade and travel across vast desert landscapes. These magnificent creatures stand tall and proud against the backdrop of Akabah, showcasing their importance within Arab civilization. As symbols of endurance and resilience, camels have long been associated with Middle Eastern culture. Through this engraving, we catch a glimpse into Islamic religion and its influence on daily life during that time period. The pelerinage (pilgrimage) mentioned hints at spiritual journeys undertaken by devout Muslims to sacred sites such as Mecca or Medina. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of Vuillier's engraving while preserving its timeless essence. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage found within Arab civilization.
