View of Sidon in 1800
Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Plate 4, from Picturesque scenery in the Holy Land and Syria : delineated during the campaigns of 1799 and 1800, F. B. Spilsbury, of HMS Le Tigre, surgeon in that expedition during both campaigns of 1799 and 1800. Published by Wiliam Orme, 1803. Sketched by Spilsbury, drawn by Daniel Orme.
Sidon (Seid). Sidon is said to be the place where glass was first invented. Two old castles are yet standing ; but the walls and public buildings of the town are in ruins, and it is only inhabited by fishermen. From its remains of ancient splendour, however, the Pacha Jezzar procures his principal pedestals, columns, and capitals, for the embellishment of his mosque and palace. |
