EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1823, offers a breathtaking view of two of the most sacred towns in the Holy Land: Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee and Nazareth. The engraving transports us back in time to the early 19th century, as we gaze upon the tranquil waters of the Sea of Galilee, dotted with small fishing boats, and the bustling town of Tiberias, nestled on its shores. In the distance, the snow-capped Mount Tabor rises majestically, adding to the picture's idyllic charm. Meanwhile, in the background, the town of Nazareth, the childhood home of Jesus, can be seen nestled among the rolling hills and olive groves. The engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history and cultural significance of these ancient towns, which have been revered for centuries as sacred sites in the Jewish and Christian faiths. Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder was an educational encyclopedia, designed to introduce children to the wonders of the natural world and the rich history of various cultures. This particular engraving, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, would have captured the imaginations of young readers, instilling in them a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world beyond their own. Today, it serves as a beautiful reminder of the enduring allure of the Holy Land and the importance of preserving its history for future generations.
