Palmyra's growth and artistic style resulted from its economic prosperity as a caravan city and its location at the eastern edge of the Roman Empire (USA: Getty Museum 2017)

The images on the site include eighteenth-century drawings, maps, and illustrations by Louis-Francois Cassas (1756-1827); images from eighteenth-century books created by wealthy travelers, such as "The Ruins of Palmyra, Otherwise Tedmor" 1753, by Robert Wood or "Egyptian Sepulchers and Syrian Shrines" 1862, by Emily Anne Beaufort Smythe, Viscountess Strangford; and nineteenth century photographs by Louis Vignes (1831-1896) taken in 1864, as well as a few modern images of twentieth and twenty-first century Palmyra.
