EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the grandeur of the Temple of Jerusalem as built by Herod. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship showcased in this 18th-century print are truly awe-inspiring. The image transports us to a place where history, religion, and architecture converge. We find ourselves standing at the foot of the temple mount, gazing up at its majestic elevation. The sheer size and scale of the structure leave us humbled, imagining what it must have been like to witness such magnificence firsthand. As our eyes wander across the print, we notice the elaborate courtyards that surround the temple. Each courtyard seems to hold its own story within its walls - stories of worship, sacrifice, and devotion. It is a testament to human ingenuity and creativity that such an architectural marvel could be conceived and brought into existence over two thousand years ago. However, our contemplation is tinged with sadness as we remember that this remarkable edifice met a tragic fate at the hands of Roman forces in AD 70. Only remnants remain today; most notably, the iconic Wailing Wall stands as a solemn reminder of what once was. Through this powerful image captured by Ken Welsh from his private collection, we are reminded not only of humanity's ability to create breathtaking structures but also how impermanent they can be in the face of history's relentless march forward.
