EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dating from the late 19th century, showcases the majestic Tower of the Forty Martyrs at Nebi-Samuel in the Holy Land. The Tower, a significant historical landmark in Israel, is nestled amidst the picturesque and nostalgic landscape, evoking a sense of old-world charm and tranquility. The Tower of the Forty Martyrs, also known as the Tower of the Prophet Samuel, is a historic site located near Jerusalem. It is believed to have been built during the Crusader period, around the 12th century, and is named after the forty Christian martyrs who were executed on the site during the Byzantine era. This coloured photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, offers a unique and nostalgic perspective of the Tower. The use of the Photochrom process, a popular method of colourizing photographs during this time, adds a vibrant and rich hue to the image, making it all the more striking. The Tower stands proudly against the backdrop of the rolling hills and lush greenery, with the blue sky and white clouds overhead. The intricate details of the Tower's stonework and the surrounding landscape are beautifully captured in this photograph, providing a window into the past and a glimpse into the history and culture of the Holy Land during the 19th century.
