EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken most likely in the late 1870s, depicts the Jerusalem Pool of Hezekiah, a significant historical site located in the Old City of Jerusalem. The Pool of Hezekiah, mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible, is believed to have been built by King Hezekiah around 722 BC as part of a water supply system to protect Jerusalem from invading forces. The image captures the serene beauty of the pool, surrounded by lush greenery and ancient stone structures. The pool's still waters reflect the clear blue sky, creating a sense of tranquility and peace. The Victorian-era lantern in the foreground adds an intriguing element to the scene, hinting at the presence of travelers or explorers who may have come to witness this biblical landmark. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the Holy Land, a place of pilgrimage for Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike. The Pool of Hezekiah holds a moral and ethical importance to various religious traditions, symbolizing the importance of preserving and protecting valuable resources for the benefit of future generations. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travelers journeyed to the Holy Land in search of spiritual enlightenment and historical discovery. This vintage image is a reminder of the enduring allure of the ancient city of Jerusalem and its biblical landmarks, which continue to captivate and inspire people around the world.
