EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed handcoloured copperplate engraving, created around 1833, offers a captivating glimpse into the geography and history of the Holy Land, specifically the region known as Palestine, during the 1800s. The map extends from the southern cities of Gaza and Ashkelon, through the central regions of Ramla and Lydda, to the northern borders of Tyre and Sidon in present-day Lebanon. The map, titled "La Palestina," is an intricate representation of the land's topography, featuring various ruins, roads, and settlements. The illustration showcases the rich history of the region, with the remains of ancient Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman structures scattered throughout the landscape. One can identify several notable sites, such as the ruins of Ramla, known as the "Roman City," and the holy city of Jerusalem, with its iconic Dome of the Rock and Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The map also reveals the presence of various pilgrimage routes, as indicated by the winding roads and the occasional camel caravan. This map, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," provides a fascinating window into the historical and cultural significance of Palestine during the 1800s. The meticulous handcolouring and copperplate engraving techniques add to the map's allure, making it an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history, fashion, or geography of the Middle East during this period.
