EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Sepulchres of the Judges of Israel, a significant archaeological site located in the Old City of Jerusalem. The image, taken from Luigi Mayer's "Views in Egypt, Palestine and Other Parts of the Ottoman Empire," published in 1804, is an elevation of the tomb of the Prophets Haggai, Zechariah, and Malach. The tomb, also known as the Tomba dei Profeti or Tombe dei Profeti, is believed to date back to the 18th or 19th century. The engraving, created by Giulio Ferrario for his publication "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1833, showcases the intricacies of the tomb's design. The central focus is the elevated platform, which houses the tombs of the prophets, adorned with columns and a vestibule. The columns are topped with cherubs, or cherubim, which are winged beings from ancient Near Eastern mythology, often depicted as guardians of the divine presence. The image also reveals the rich historical and cultural significance of the site. The tomb is situated near the Temple Mount, the site of King Solomon's Temple, one of the holiest sites in Judaism. The presence of the tomb of the prophets near this location is a testament to the deep reverence and connection the Jewish people have to their history and their faith. The hand-tinted copperplate engraving is a stunning representation of the Sepulchres of the Judges of Israel, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich history of the region. The intricate details of the design, the use of color, and the historical context make this image an invaluable addition to any collection of historical illustrations or those with an interest in the history of fashion and costume.
