Titled simply "Holy Land," this print takes its name from a region along the eastern Mediterranean that is sacred to Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike. Images of the Holy Land were especially popular in Europe and North America during the 19th century, when travel to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and the Jordan River was rare and expensive for most people. Prints like this one allowed home audiences to imagine sites linked to the Bible and to hold a piece of that distant world in their own parlors. The picture is worth looking at for how it frames these places as both spiritual landmarks and objects of curiosity.
