View down Rue Ramy toward Column at Marjeh Square, Damascus
View down Rue Ramy toward the Column at Marjeh Square, Damascus, Syria. This bronze column was erected by Sultan Abdul Hamid II to commemorate the opening of the first telegraphic link in the Middle East - the line between Damascus and Medina, and the opening of the Damascus terminal on the Hejaz railway. The monument has a replica statue of the Yildiz Mosque of Istanbul on top. Note the film poster for Blonde Venus starring Marlene Dietrich, which provides us with a very accurate date for the card. Date: 1932
