Old Photos of Lebanon – Support Lebanon

Description

This section of LebanonPostcard will talk about a personal experience I encounter while I was taking photos after the blast which destroyed part of Beirut.

I met accidentally on my road an old person, and I told him who I am, and about my love to take photos across Lebanon and informed him that I own the site discoverlebanon.com.

The person I was talking with was looking so gentlemen and kind, and he told me as well about his old passion to collect posters of Lebanon for many years. While he was explaining I felt sadness in his eyes. He continues his talking and told me that his house was massively destroyed by the Beirut explosion… and how his collection of posters has deteriorated slightly because of humidity and dust since the blast of Beirut.

I visited him later in his house and he shows me his collection which is about 400 posters all in one format 21×30 cm on thick cardboard. The collection is truly beautiful and very old and it is showing images of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine / Israel. I noticed that some posters get dust and humidity on the papers and some are not anymore new as before.

The person I met was living inside a ruined house… and he explained to me how his life has become so difficult in the last few years.

I told the person that I am interested in purchasing the collection and I paid him an amount of money. He was so happy to know that I can do that… because he was in need of money to cover expenses related to his difficult life. He gave me the posters and asks me to keep his name anonymous… and I left.

When I was back at my house, I decided to add the collection online and see if any person is interested in supporting people in need by ordering 5 posters.
