EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to the ancient city of Jerusalem, specifically to the Tower of Hippicus, a historic landmark that has stood proudly in the Old City since the 15th century. Pre-dating the 20th century, this photograph is a precious gem from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. The Tower of Hippicus, also known as the Tower of David or the Muristan Tower, is a significant part of Jerusalem's rich history. The tower's name is believed to have originated from the Crusader knight, Hippolyte de Milly, who was the Grand Master of the Temple during the 12th and 13th centuries. The photograph showcases the Tower of Hippicus in all its glory, with its distinctive shape and intricate stonework. The tower's lantern, which once served as a beacon for weary travelers, adds to its mystical allure. The image also reveals a glimpse of the bustling cityscape beyond the tower's walls, with narrow streets, traditional Middle Eastern houses, and perhaps even a church or two. The Tower of Hippicus holds great significance for Christians and people of other faiths alike. For Christians, Jerusalem is considered a holy land, and this image serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the faith and the city's rich history. The Tower of Hippicus stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the past, and this photograph offers a unique window into a bygone era. The Victorian or Edwardian era aesthetic of the photograph further adds to its charm, with its soft focus and muted colors. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder, inviting us to explore the stories and secrets that lie within the walls of this ancient city and its iconic landmarks.
