EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tomb of Rachel, located in the West Bank city of Bethlehem, Palestine, around the turn of the 20th century. The tomb is believed to be the burial site of Rachel, the wife of Jacob from the Hebrew Bible, making it a significant pilgrimage site for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. In this image, the ancient structure is bathed in soft, golden light, casting long shadows and adding an ethereal quality to the scene. The photograph was likely taken during the late 1890s or early 1900s, a time when the Holy Land was becoming increasingly popular as a destination for travelers seeking to explore its rich cultural and historical heritage. The use of an albumen or collodion process print, a common photographic technique of the time, adds to the vintage feel of the image and emphasizes the historical significance of the site. Despite the passage of time, the tomb of Rachel remains an important symbol of faith and tradition for millions of people around the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel to the Holy Land was a grand adventure and the world was just beginning to be connected through the medium of photography.
