EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the fallen voussoirs of Robinsons Arch in Jerusalem, dating back to 1869. Created by William Crimea Simpson, this artwork showcases the remnants of an entrance built by Herod to the Royal Colonnade. Intriguingly, we see Sergeant Henry Birtles descending a rope ladder into what appears to be an underground archaeological site. The dimly lit cave is illuminated only by candlelight, adding an air of mystery and adventure to the scene. The meticulous detail captured through watercolor and pencil on paper brings these ancient rocks to life, transporting us back in time. It is evident that Simpson was not just an artist but also an archaeologist himself, as he expertly portrays every nook and cranny of this historical tunnel. As we gaze upon this painting from Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the tireless efforts made by explorers like Simpson who dedicated their lives to uncovering the secrets buried beneath our feet. Their work allows us to connect with civilizations long gone and gain a deeper understanding of our shared human heritage. This remarkable piece serves as both a testament to past discoveries and an inspiration for future archaeological endeavors.
