EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1916, showcases the picturesque Main Street and Queiq River in Aleppo, Syria. The image, titled 'La Grand Rue - le nouveau pont' (The Grand Street - The New Bridge), offers a glimpse into the past of this historic city in north-west Syria. The photograph captures the essence of Aleppo's rich cultural heritage, with the newly built bridge (pont) gracefully spanning the Queiq River. The bridge connects the two banks of the river, providing a vital link between the bustling commercial district and the residential areas. In the distance, the majestic Citadel of Aleppo (Citadelle d'Alep) stands tall on a hill, a testament to the city's ancient history. The Main Street, or La Grande Rue, is lined with shops and houses, their facades displaying a unique blend of Middle Eastern and European architectural influences. The riverbank is dotted with trees, providing shade and respite from the sun. The calm waters of the Queiq River reflect the vibrant colors of the buildings and the bridge, adding to the visual appeal of the scene. Aleppo, known as the 'Pearl of the East,' was a thriving commercial hub during the early 20th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into the town's bustling streets, its beautiful architecture, and its connection to the river. The image is a reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of Aleppo and Syria as a whole.
