EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent windows of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, dating back to 1890. The creator remains unknown, but their work beautifully captures the essence of this historic site. The church itself has a rich and tumultuous history, having been destroyed by fire during the Sassanid invasion in 614 AD. However, thanks to Emperor Heraclius' determination and devotion to Christianity, it was rebuilt in 630 AD. The rebuilding process took centuries to complete, with its final restoration occurring in 1048. In this image, we witness the arched architecture that characterizes Romanesque design prevalent during that era. Despite being captured over a thousand years after its initial construction, these windows still exude an aura of grandeur and spirituality. As we gaze upon this photograph from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" courtesy of Edmund Ollier's literary masterpiece published in 1890, we are transported back through time. It serves as a reminder of both the resilience of faith and humanity's enduring dedication to preserving sacred spaces. Although these windows have witnessed countless historical events unfold within their vicinity - wars fought and empires risen and fallen - they stand tall today as a testament to religious devotion and architectural brilliance. This image is not just a mere snapshot; it encapsulates centuries worth of stories waiting patiently for us to explore within those ancient walls.
