EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Sepulchres of the Kings of Judah, a series of ancient tombs located in the Tower of David in Jerusalem's Old City. The image, taken from Luigi Mayer's "Views in Egypt, Palestine and Other Parts of the Ottoman Empire," published in 1804, is a reproduction of an earlier work by Giulio Ferrario in his "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1833. The engraving shows several sarcophagi, ornate coffins used for burial, arranged in a row inside a dimly lit chamber. Each sarcophagus is adorned with intricate carvings and decorations, reflecting the rich history and cultural significance of the ancient Jewish kingdom of Judah. A pulley and winch are visible at the top of the image, suggesting that the sarcophagi may have once been lifted in and out of the chamber for religious or ceremonial purposes. The River, likely the Kidron River, flows gently in the background, adding to the serene and mystical atmosphere of the scene. The image captures the historical and cultural importance of the Sepulchres of the Kings of Judah, which have long been a source of fascination for scholars, historians, and visitors to the Holy Land. The engraving is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time, with the intricate details of the sarcophagi and the subtle shading used to create depth and texture. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of richness and depth to the image, making it a valuable historical and artistic document.
