EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dating between approximately 1890 and 1900, transports us back in time to the sacred and historic site of Calvary and the Greek altar in Jerusalem's Old City. The image, filled with nostalgia and rich history, showcases the picturesque Calvary, where according to Christian tradition, Jesus was crucified and died for the sins of humanity. The Greek Orthodox Church, represented by the prominent altar in the foreground, adds a layer of cultural significance to the scene. The altar, adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant colors, stands as a testament to the deep spiritual connection between the Greek Orthodox community and this hallowed ground. The nineteenth-century photograph, produced using the photochrom process, adds an extra layer of charm and allure. The method, which involved the application of multiple layers of color, results in a rich, detailed, and visually stunning representation of the scene. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to witness the beauty and history of this sacred site in the Holy Land. The nostalgia evoked by the old, colored photograph print serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring significance of this place in the annals of history and the hearts of people around the world.
