The Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem, 1890 - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1890, offering a rare glimpse of one of Jerusalem's most iconic landmarks - The Dome of the Rock. Standing proudly on Temple Mount in the Old City, this Islamic shrine has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls. The original construction dates back to 691-92 under the orders of Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik. However, tragedy struck when the dome collapsed in 1015. It was not until 1022-23 that it was rebuilt to its former glory. Captured from an engraving featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier, this image showcases both architectural magnificence and historical significance. The domed structure stands tall against a backdrop of hills and nature, symbolizing harmony between man-made marvels and natural beauty. Intriguingly, amidst this historic setting lies a lone figure - a man standing near an entrance with a book in hand. His presence adds depth to the scene as he contemplates the rich heritage surrounding him. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from over a century ago, we are reminded that Jerusalem is not merely a city but also an embodiment of diverse cultures and faiths coexisting harmoniously throughout time. This image serves as an invitation for us to explore our shared past and appreciate how ancient structures like The Dome of the Rock continue to inspire awe even today.
