EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Holy Land - Mount of Olives and Jerusalem" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the biblical city steeped in history. The hand-colored engraving, drawn by William Henry Bartlett and engraved by R. Wallis, showcases the iconic view of Jerusalem from the north-eastern perspective. The image transports us to a time when this ancient city was still adorned with its majestic city walls, evoking a sense of antiquity and grandeur. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the profound significance that Jerusalem holds for multiple faiths – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Mount of Olives stands prominently in the foreground, serving as both a geographical landmark and an important religious site mentioned throughout the Bible. Its slopes have witnessed countless significant events from Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem to his ascension into heaven. Jerusalem itself unfolds before our eyes with its intricate architecture and sacred sites intertwined within its bustling streets. This visual narrative captures not only historical moments but also spiritual devotion that has endured for centuries. Through this finely detailed engraving, we are transported across time to experience firsthand what pilgrims might have seen during their journeys through Palestine.
