EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Spring and Pool of Siloam, located outside the ancient walls of Jerusalem's Old City. The image, created by Corsi after Giulio Ferrario in his "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1833, offers a glimpse into the historical and biblical significance of this site. The Pool of Siloam, a vital water source for the city, is situated in the Kidron Valley, near the southern wall of the Old City. The spring, which is believed to have been used since ancient times, is mentioned in the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of John (9:1-7), where a man born blind is healed by Jesus. The engraving shows the spring with a bridge crossing over it, allowing access to the Pool. The clear waters of the spring are surrounded by lush vegetation, and the valley beyond is dotted with trees and buildings. The Old City walls can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of history and antiquity. This illustration, originally from Luigi Mayer's "Views in Egypt, Palestine and Other Parts of the Ottoman Empire," published in 1804, is a testament to the rich cultural and historical heritage of the region. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the water and the stones to the delicate folds of the clothing of the figures in the scene, make it a beautiful and captivating work of art. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing it to life and making it a fascinating window into the past.
