In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to the year 1898 in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia. The image captures a fascinating encounter between local guides and pilgrim ships at the bustling port of Jiddah. The scene is alive with vibrant activity as the guides eagerly welcome the arriving pilgrim ships. Their colorful attire and animated gestures reflect their excitement in assisting these devout travelers on their spiritual journey. It is evident that they take great pride in their role as knowledgeable escorts for those seeking solace and enlightenment. The composition beautifully showcases the juxtaposition of traditional Arabian architecture against the grandeur of these majestic vessels. The intricate details of both structures provide a glimpse into a bygone era where maritime trade and religious pilgrimage intersected harmoniously. This photograph not only serves as a visual testament to historical significance but also evokes curiosity about cultural exchange during that time period.
