EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to the beautiful and historic landscape of Mount Tabor in present-day Israel. The serene scene before us depicts a goatherd tending to his flock, as they gather around a crystal-clear pool located at the foot of the majestic Mount Tabor. The mountain, with its distinctive shape and religious significance, looms in the background, adding a sense of history and reverence to the image. Mount Tabor, located in the Northern District of Israel, has been a significant site throughout history. It is most famously associated with the Transfiguration of Jesus, as described in the New Testament of the Bible. The mountain has also been mentioned in the Old Testament, and has been a site of pilgrimage for centuries. The goatherd in the image, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern garb, is a common sight in this region. Goat herding has been a traditional occupation in the Middle East for thousands of years, and the practice continues to this day. The goats graze on the rugged terrain, providing milk, meat, and hides for the local communities. The pool in the foreground is a vital source of water for the goats and the surrounding vegetation. In ancient times, it may have been used as a gathering place for travelers and pilgrims, providing a much-needed respite in the arid landscape. This image, captured circa 1840, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the daily life of people in this region over 180 years ago. The combination of the beautiful landscape, the historical significance of the site, and the peaceful scene of the goatherd and his flock make this an enduring and captivating image.
