EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Women of Bethlehem" offers a glimpse into the lives of women in the late 19th century Middle East. The image showcases two women seated side by side, dressed in traditional costumes that reflect their cultural heritage. Their intricate robes and headdresses are adorned with exquisite details, highlighting the rich traditions of Bethlehem. One woman is captured mid-smoke, holding a narghileh (hookah) delicately between her fingers, while the other reclines gracefully beside her. Both exude an air of elegance and poise as they embody the essence of femininity within their society. The engraving is part of Louis Charles Emile Lortet's renowned collection "La Syrie d aujourd hui" which documents his travels through Phenicie, Lebanon, and Judea from 1875 to 1880. It serves as a historical testament to the diversity and beauty found within this region during that era. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness these remarkable women who were deeply rooted in their cultural traditions. Their attire not only represents fashion but also symbolizes religious beliefs and societal norms prevalent at that time. Gerard Degeorge's skillful reproduction allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Lortet over a century ago. This print serves as a reminder of our shared humanity across different cultures and provides an opportunity for reflection on how societies have evolved since then.
