EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Walls of Jerusalem, 1890" a historic masterpiece whose creator remains unknown. The walls themselves hold a fascinating story that dates back to the 16th century when Sultan Suleiman I of the Ottoman Empire commanded their reconstruction between 1537-1541. Today, these magnificent walls have earned recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The image is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. III - The Middle Ages" by Edmund Ollier, published in London, Paris, and Melbourne in 1890. It offers us a glimpse into the past with its monochrome depiction of this architectural marvel. Standing tall against the backdrop of Jerusalem's enchanting landscape, these city walls symbolize centuries of history and resilience. As we observe this photograph closely, we notice a lone figure gazing out from one of the lookout points along the wall—a man who seems lost in contemplation amidst his historical surroundings. Through this image, we are transported to an era where literature and art merged seamlessly with architecture and culture. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also highlights how places like Jerusalem continue to captivate individuals across time. Let us cherish this remarkable piece that captures both the beauty and significance of Jerusalem's ancient fortifications—an enduring testament to human ingenuity and perseverance throughout history.
