EDITORS COMMENTS
Tailleurs de pierres e Jerusalem" is an exquisite and nostalgic colored photograph from the late 19th century, capturing a picturesque scene of stonecutters at work in the ancient city of Jerusalem. The image, which dates between approximately 1890 and 1900, offers a glimpse into the rich history and daily life of this holy city during a time when it was still under Ottoman rule. The photograph, which is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a beautiful example of the photochrom process, a popular method of colorizing photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The process involved applying a series of colored filters to the photographic plate, resulting in vibrant and richly hued images that evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder. In this photograph, we see a group of tailleurs de pierres, or stonecutters, hard at work in the foreground. They are dressed in traditional Middle Eastern clothing, with some wearing turbans and others wearing long, flowing robes. They are engaged in the laborious task of cutting and shaping stones, which were likely to be used in the construction or repair of the city's many ancient buildings and structures. The background of the photograph reveals the stunning beauty of Jerusalem's Old City, with its winding streets, colorful buildings, and intricate architecture. The Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque can be seen in the distance, adding to the historical significance of the scene. Overall, "Tailleurs de pierres e Jerusalem" is a captivating and evocative photograph that transports us back in time to a bygone era. It offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of Jerusalem during the late 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the rich and complex history that lies within the walls of this ancient and sacred city.
