EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Album 'Damas et Baalbek: Portrait of a man with a hookah" takes us back to Syria in the late 19th century. Captured by the talented photographer Felix Bonfils, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of this ancient land. In this portrait, we see a distinguished-looking man seated comfortably with his hookah, or nargileh as it is known locally. The intricate details of his tunic and accessories speak volumes about his status and fashion choices during that era. The hookah itself becomes an object of interest, symbolizing not only leisure but also social gatherings and camaraderie. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph holds anthropological significance as well. It provides valuable insights into the daily lives and customs of Syrian populations at that time. From clothing styles to smoking habits, every element tells a story about the people who inhabited these territories. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate how art can serve as a window into different cultures and histories. This print invites us to reflect on our shared human experiences while celebrating diversity in all its forms – be it through fashion choices or even tobacco-related practices like smoking addiction.
