EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "View of Jerusalem as seen from the Mount of Olives," offers a captivating glimpse into the past of the Holy Land. The image, created by Maina after Giulio Ferrario in his "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1833, depicts the ancient city of Jerusalem as it appeared in the 1800s. The vantage point of the view is from the Mount of Olives, a significant location in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions, overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem. The golden dome of the Dome of the Rock, a sacred Islamic site, and the silver-domed Church of the Ascension, a Christian site, can be seen in the distance. The foreground of the image is dominated by the entrance to the bustling bazaar, or market, in the Old City. The intricately designed archway, known as a besestein, invites visitors to explore the labyrinth of stalls selling spices, textiles, and other wares. The narrow streets and colorful buildings of the market create a vibrant and lively scene, contrasting with the serene and spiritual atmosphere of the surrounding landscape. The intricate details of the engraving, from the individual shoppers and merchants to the intricate patterns on the buildings and market stalls, offer a glimpse into the daily life of Jerusalem during the Ottoman Empire. The historical significance of the site, combined with the rich cultural and religious diversity of the city, make this view a fascinating and important historical record of the Holy Land.
