EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a subterranean church in Bethlehem during the 1800s, specifically the Church of the Nativity, which is believed to be built above the grotto where Jesus was born. The image captures a moment of devotion as pilgrims pray before an altar, their faces etched with deep concentration and reverence. The subterranean church, also known as the Grotta della Natività, is a significant site for Christians, who believe that the grotto holds a special connection to the birth of Jesus Christ. The engraving is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1833. It is a copy of an earlier work by Luigi Mayer, titled "Views in Egypt, Palestine and Other Parts of the Ottoman Empire," published in 1804. The intricate details of the engraving, from the ornate altar to the intricately patterned robes of the pilgrims, offer a glimpse into the historical and cultural significance of this holy site. The image also provides a fascinating window into the fashion and styles of the time, as well as the rich history of the Holy Land and Israel.
