EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the life of Sir Moses Montefiore, an influential figure from the 19th century. The engraving depicts a scene where Montefiore, accompanied by a group of bankers and city officials, is entering Jerusalem on November 9,1837. In this historic encounter, he meets Sultan Abdul Medjid and engages in discussions about various matters. The image showcases the grandeur and importance of this occasion as it portrays royalty distributing alms to those in need. Queen Victoria herself had expressed interest in Montefiore's visit to the East and can be seen bestowing her royal highness upon him during his knighting ceremony in 1839. Sir Moses Montefiore was known for his philanthropic endeavors and played an instrumental role in improving Jewish rights across Europe. His visit to Zafed in 1840 is also depicted here, highlighting his dedication towards uplifting communities around the world. This remarkable print not only provides us with a glimpse into history but also serves as a testament to Sir Moses Montefiore's tireless efforts towards social change. It reminds us of the power individuals possess to make lasting impacts on society through compassion and determination.
