EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the daily life scene of 19th century Jerusalem. The Lintel of Barclays Doorway, located near the Jews Wailing Place, stands as a silent witness to the rich history and cultural tapestry of this ancient city. Painted by William Crimea Simpson in 1870, this watercolor and pencil masterpiece is now preserved by the Palestine Exploration Fund in London. The image portrays a bricked-up entrance adorned with intricate architectural details that reflect the unique blend of styles found in Jerusalem's streets. It offers us a rare opportunity to step back in time and immerse ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of Israel during this period. As we observe this street scene frozen in time, our imagination wanders through bustling markets, echoing footsteps on cobblestone paths, and conversations filled with diverse languages. The presence of Barclays Gate adds an intriguing layer to the composition, hinting at its significance within local commerce or perhaps as a gathering place for community members. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured every brushstroke and nuance present in Simpson's painting. This remarkable piece allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also serves as a visual gateway connecting us to an era long gone. Let this extraordinary print transport you back to 19th-century Jerusalem – where history intertwines with everyday life – inviting you to explore its hidden stories and marvel at its timeless beauty.
