EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Saudi Arabia. The image depicts "The reservoir of Abdallah" beautifully captured by G. Vuillier, an artist renowned for his ability to bring stories to life through his engravings. The reservoir stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Arab civilization, nestled amidst the vastness of the Middle East. It served as a vital source of water for caravans traversing this arid landscape during their pilgrimage to Nedjed, often referred to as the cradle of the Arab race. Lady Anna Blunt's enthralling story titled "Pelerinage au Nedjed" inspired this remarkable artwork. Published in 1882 in Paris' esteemed Tour du Monde magazine under Edouard Charton's direction, it transported readers on an immersive journey through time and space. As we gaze upon this print from Leonard de Selva's private collection today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its artistic beauty. The intricate details and delicate lines capture both the grandeur and serenity that can be found within nature. Let this enchanting engraving transport you back in time, allowing your imagination to wander through ancient landscapes while contemplating the resilience and ingenuity displayed by those who once relied on such reservoirs for survival.
