| Notes |
Photograph is printed in a book with a description beneath printed description: "(Isaiah, vii :8.)--Damascus is, beyond any doubt, the most attractive city as to its natural features to be found in the East. There is more in Damascus that takes hold of the imagination than in any other city. To its natural features, which are so rare and remarkable as to lift it out of classificiation with other p aces, is added its great antiquiy and its wonderful historic interest. These render a time of sojourn here a perpetual delight. The population, the rivers, divided in channels, flowing through part of the city, coffee gardens, people from the desert mingling with rich merchants in their flowing gowns all together make up a picture such as the eye never beholds elsewhere. 'Damascus, daughter of Abana's stream, How beauteous still are thy enchanting bowers: Thy gardens that with fruits unnumbered teem. The perfumes that exhale from loveliest flower[,]Thy native charms defy the gliding hours, But mar, alas, the work that man hath made.'" Copyright year and photographer's name are at the bottom of the photograph, along with "Franklin Co Eng-Chi". Quality: Good |
