Album Info:

It wasn’t until 1678 that Palmyra was ‘rediscovered’ by two English merchants resident in Aleppo. Few followed in their footsteps; the buried desert city was an often-dangerous five days’ journey from civilisation. It took a 1751 expedition, which resulted in drawings and the first tentative excavations, to truly pique travellers’ interest. Throughout the rest of the 18th and 19th centuries a steady flow of intrepid visitors made the expedition out from Aleppo or Damascus, although it wasn’t until the early 20th century that the first scientific study began. The earliest surveys were carried out in the 1920s by the Germans. In 1929 the French took over.
