The largest of the cedars, Mount Lebanon. Photographer: Frith, Francis
- Scope & Content:
-
Inscription: Signed 'Frith P. 146' in the negative.
Genre: Landscape Photography
View of one of the massive cedars of Lebanon: 'The day which I spent at the Cedars was one of the most delightful that I ever enjoyed. The delicious temperature of this elevation, the songs of the nightingales which abound in the grove, the scent of the timber and fallen leaves, and, above all, the 'spiritus' of this half-hallowed place — the fragrant fame which these wide-reaching venerable boughs are seen, as it were, to scatter over the wide world below — combine to render the cedar grove of Lebanon, in the beginning of June, one of the most enchanting spots on earth.'
