The Getty Research Institute (GRI) announced yesterday its acquisition of a suite of\u00a0photographs that offer rare glimpses of\u00a0some of these places as they stood 150 years ago. Captured in 1864 by French naval officer Louis Vignes, the crisp, well-preserved pictures show sites in present day Beirut, Lebanon, and the Roman ruins in Palmyra, Syria. Among the 47 albumen prints are the earliest printed photographs of Palmyra, showing the Temple Baalshamin and Temple of Bel, both of which ISIS is believed to have recently obliterated, in August and September, respectively. Other images show panoramas of Beirut\u2019s port \u2014 the region\u2019s most significant in the 19th century \u2014 and views of the city surrounded by grand pine trees.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/241541\/getty-research-institute-acquires-150-year-old-photographs-of-palmyra-and-beirut\/\">Getty Research Institute Acquires 150-Year-Old Photographs of Palmyra and Beirut<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/thatgrrl.com\/site\/index.php\/2024\/getty-research-institute-acquires-150-year-old-photographs-of-palmyra-and-beirut-2\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to Getty Research Institute Acquires 150-Year-Old Photographs of Palmyra and Beirut\"><p>With ISIS targeting and destroying\u00a0ancient cultural sites in Syria and Iraq, reducing some to just rubble, it may be that views of these historic structures will survive\u00a0only in photographs.
