EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, presents the breathtaking view of Napulus, also known as Nablus, in the Holy Land. The image showcases the ancient city nestled at the foot of Mount Gerizim, with its winding streets, whitewashed houses, and domes of various mosques and churches. The tranquil scene is further enhanced by the lush greenery of the surrounding hills and the clear, blue sky. Napulus, located in the West Bank, is a city rich in history and cultural significance. It is believed to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with records dating back to the Old Testament. The city has been ruled by various empires and civilizations throughout history, including the Romans, Byzantines, Crusaders, and Ottomans. Mount Gerizim, a prominent feature in the background of the photograph, holds great religious significance for several faiths. For Jews, it is considered one of the holiest sites in the world, as it is believed to be the site of the ancient Jewish Temple. For Christians, it is the traditional site of the Transfiguration of Jesus. And for Muslims, it is the location of the Ibrahimi Mosque, which is believed to be the burial place of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This coloured photograph, with its picturesque and nostalgic qualities, transports us back in time to a simpler era. The use of the Photochrom process, a popular method for producing coloured photographs during the late 19th century, adds to the vintage charm of the image. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich cultural heritage of Napulus and the Holy Land.
