About the Item

The 1862 original lithography by François-Edmond Pâris, titled "Souvenirs de Jérusalem - Grotte de la nativité," is a remarkable testament to the artistic and historical significance of Jerusalem. Produced as part of the first and only edition of this beautifully illustrated work, the lithograph captures the essence of a pivotal moment in the history of the Holy Land. At the heart of the lithograph is a depiction of the Grotto of the Nativity, a sacred site revered by Christians worldwide as the birthplace of Jesus Christ. Through meticulous detail and exquisite craftsmanship, Pâris transports viewers to this hallowed space, inviting them to experience the awe and reverence inspired by this ancient sanctuary. The lithograph is part of a larger narrative chronicling the visit to Jerusalem in 1861 by the third French Mediterranean squadron. As a visual record of this historic journey, it offers invaluable insights into the cultural, religious, and architectural heritage of Jerusalem during the 19th century. One of the most striking features of the lithograph is its vibrant color palette, which brings to life the intricate details of the scene. From the rich hues of the surrounding landscape to the subtle interplay of light and shadow within the grotto, each element is rendered with a masterful touch that imbues the lithograph with a sense of depth and realism. As a work of art, the lithograph not only captures the physical beauty of the Grotto of the Nativity but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of religious devotion and spiritual pilgrimage. Through its evocative imagery and meticulous attention to detail, it invites viewers to embark on a journey of discovery and contemplation, inviting them to explore the sacred mysteries of Jerusalem and the timeless significance of the Nativity. Military - Religion - Israel Plate taken from the first and only edition of this magnificently illustrated work. Account of the 1861 visit to Jerusalem undertaken by the third French squadron in the Mediterranean. Very beautiful colors of the 12 lithographed plates. François-Edmond Pâris joined the French Navy in 1820 and participated in three major expeditions: the first under d'Urville aboard the Astrolabe (1826-9), and two under Laplace on the Favorite (1829-32) and Artémise (1837-40). In 1858, he was appointed rear admiral and given command of the third French squadron in the Mediterranean. Lithographers: Hubert Clerget & Gaildrau - Arthus Bertrand Lemercier Paris
