EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sacred and ancient Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, a site of profound significance for the Jewish faith, as it appeared prior to 1900. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a rare glimpse into the past. The Wailing Wall, also known as the Western Wall or the Kotel, is the last remnant of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. It is the holiest site where Jews can pray and express their connection to their faith and history. In this vintage photograph, the wall is bathed in the soft glow of lantern light, casting intricate shadows on its weathered stones. The scene is serene, with a few figures dressed in Victorian and Edwardian attire standing in quiet contemplation, their faces illuminated by the flickering lanterns. The Jews have a long and complex history with Jerusalem, a city that has been the site of numerous conquests and occupations throughout the centuries. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring connection between the Jewish people and their sacred land. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when lanterns were the primary source of light in the evenings, and the world moved at a slower pace. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, which houses this photograph, is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in exploring the rich history and culture of the Jewish people and the Middle East. This photograph, in particular, is a testament to the power of images to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the enduring human connection to our past and our faith.
