EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time, showcasing the resilience and strength of a Woman of Dsjidda (Jeddah) selling flatbread in Arabia during the late 18th century. The artist, CJ de Huyser, skillfully depicts the woman's traditional dress and veil, highlighting her adherence to Islamic customs. The image is part of an account detailing Carsten Niebuhr's expedition to Arabia and the Middle East on behalf of Frederick V of Denmark between 1761-1767. Sadly, Niebuhr was the sole survivor as his companions succumbed to disease during their arduous journey. This photograph serves as a testament to their courageous exploration. In this snapshot, we witness not only a bread seller but also a representation of Arabian culture and occupation. The woman finds shelter from the scorching desert sun under shaded fabric while diligently attending to her trade. Her dedication exemplifies the importance placed on providing sustenance for her community. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported back in time to experience life through the lens of Georg Wilhelm Baurenfeind's artistic vision. It reminds us that even amidst adversity and hardship, individuals like this remarkable woman continue to persevere with grace and determination.
