Fortress Israel Tiberias

EDITORS COMMENTS
This view from the fortress of Tiberias, Holy Land (modern-day Israel), transports us back in time to the late 19th century. The fortress, perched atop a hill overlooking the Sea of Galilee, stands as a testament to the rich history of this sacred land. The picture, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, is a coloured photograph produced using the Photochrom process. This method, popular during the Victorian era, created vivid, nostalgic images by combining multiple photographs to produce a single, colourised print. The scene unfolds before us: the ancient fortress walls, weathered by time, stand tall against the backdrop of a clear, blue sky. Below, the vibrant greens of the surrounding hills roll down to meet the shimmering waters of the Sea of Galilee. The quaint, red-tiled rooftops of Tiberias, nestled along the lake's edge, add a picturesque touch to the image. The fortress, with its imposing presence, offers a glimpse into the past, when it served as a protective stronghold for the city below. This view from the fortress evokes a sense of nostalgia, inviting us to imagine the lives of those who once lived and walked in this land. The historical significance of Tiberias, as a city with deep biblical roots and a modern-day pilgrimage destination, adds an extra layer of intrigue to this image. The 19th century comes alive through the rich colours and intricate details of this coloured photograph print, offering a window into a bygone era.
