EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "View of Bethlehem and the Convent," offers a captivating glimpse into the past of the Holy Land during the 1800s. The image, created by Carocci after Giulio Ferrario, is taken from Ferrario's seminal work "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1833. The engraving is a reproduction of an earlier view by Luigi Mayer, created in 1804 during his travels through Egypt, Palestine, and other parts of the Ottoman Empire. The main street of Bethlehem, Strada Principale di Betlemme, is depicted as a bustling thoroughfare, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians making their way through the town. At the heart of the scene lies the convent, its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof standing out against the backdrop of the rolling hills and verdant landscape. The intricate details of the architecture, from the ornate balconies to the intricately carved doors, are beautifully rendered, providing a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The engraving also offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical fashion and costume of the time, with figures dressed in the traditional garb of the era. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors of their clothing reflect the diverse cultural influences that shaped the Holy Land during the 1800s. Overall, this image offers a unique window into the past, transporting us back in time to a place of great historical and cultural significance.
