EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to St. Jean d'Acre on a momentous day, April 24th, 1839. Plate 65 from Volume II of "The Holy Land" this exquisite lithograph was engraved by the talented Louis Haghe and published in 1843 by David Roberts. In this scene, we witness a vibrant military review taking place amidst the picturesque coastal town of Acre. The landscape is adorned with minarets that pierce the sky, adding an exotic touch to the scene. Arab figures can be seen scattered throughout, their presence lending an air of authenticity to this orientalist masterpiece. As our eyes wander across the print's expansive dimensions (measuring at 35.4x51.1 cm), we are drawn towards a group of travellers who have gathered to witness this grand spectacle unfold before them. Clutching rifles tightly in their hands, they stand in awe as soldiers march past with precision and grace. The port of Akko serves as a backdrop for this extraordinary event, its bustling atmosphere contrasting beautifully against the serene waters that stretch out into the distance. This remarkable piece belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is currently held within a private collection. Its historical significance cannot be understated - it offers us a glimpse into both ancient traditions and European exploration during a time long gone.
