EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the entrance to the Tomb of Absalom and the Cave of Jehosophat, located in the historic land of Judah, in the Holy Land of Israel. The image is based on a view by Giulio Ferrario, as published in his comprehensive work "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" in 1833. The engraving is a meticulous reproduction of Luigi Mayer's original 1804 work, "Views in Egypt, Palestine and Other Parts of the Ottoman Empire." The entrance to the tomb, shrouded in history and mystery, is adorned with intricate carvings and ornate decorations. Absalom, the third son of King David, is believed to be buried within, having met his untimely death during a rebellion against his father. The nearby Cave of Jehosophat is also a site of historical significance, associated with King Solomon and the construction of the First Temple. Pilgrims and travellers of the time would have marveled at the grandeur of these ancient sepulchres, their curiosity piqued by the rich biblical history associated with the site. This engraving serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the Holy Land and its storied past. The intricate details of the engraving are brought to life through the delicate application of handcolours, adding depth and vibrancy to the image. The fashion of the time is also evident in the attire of the figures depicted, providing a fascinating glimpse into the historical context of the scene. This image is a must-have for those with an interest in history, biblical studies, or the fashion and art of the past.
