About the Item

The print is signed by the artist "S. Mynde sc." in the lower right corner. This suggests that the maker of the print is Samuel Mynde, a known engraver from the 18th century. His works often included engravings for books, maps, and prints, contributing to the dissemination of geographical and historical knowledge during that time. The signature "sc" stands for "sculpsit," a Latin term meaning "engraved by." This evocative print, titled **"A General View of Jerusalem in the Early Part of the 18th Century" (circa 1752)**, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history and complex layering of the ancient city of Jerusalem during a pivotal period in its storied past. The image, produced around 1752, presents a panoramic scene of the city as it appeared before the significant transformations that were to take place in the following centuries. Nestled amidst the undulating hills of the Judean Mountains, Jerusalem's iconic silhouette is dominated by the golden-hued Dome of the Rock, a revered Islamic shrine, and the adjacent Al-Aqsa Mosque, both of which are surrounded by the sprawling Temple Mount complex. The Old City walls, encircling the historic core, are visible in the foreground, their fortified gates providing entry to the various quarters – Christian, Armenian, Jewish, and Muslim – that housed the diverse communities living within the city's confines. The print also reveals the bustling activity of the city's markets and streets, with merchants and traders haggling over goods, and the daily life of the residents unfolding amidst the vibrant urban landscape. The verdant gardens and orchards that once dotted the city's outskirts are also evident, adding to the picture of a thriving, cosmopolitan center. The early 18th century was a time of relative peace and prosperity for Jerusalem, which served as an important crossroads for trade and pilgrimage. However, this tranquility would soon be disrupted by the political and religious tensions that would shape the city's destiny for centuries to come. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring allure and complex history of Jerusalem, a city that continues to captivate and inspire generations. More research to be done on the source.

18th Century French Map and City View of Joppe/Jaffa (Tel Aviv) by Sanson
By Nicholas Sanson d'Abbeville
Located in Alamo, CA
An original antique engraving entitled "Joppe; in ’t Hebreeusch by ouds Japho; hedendaags Japha, of Jaffa; volgens d’aftekening gedaan 1668", by Nicholas Sanson d'Abbeville (1600 - 1667). This is a view of the city of Joppe (in Hebrew Japho), now called Japha or Jaffa, the harbor portion of modern day Tel Aviv, Israel as it appeared in 1668 . It depicts a very busy harbor with numerous boats. A large ship on the left appears to be firing its canons and a small ship on the right appears to be sitting very low in the water, either heavily loaded with cargo or sinking. The town is seen on the far shore with a fortress on a hill across in the background. The map is printed from the original Sanson copperplate and was published in 1709 by his descendants. The map is presented in an ornate brown wood frame embellished by gold-colored leaves and gold inner trim with a double mat; the outer mat is cream-colored and the inner mat is black. There is a central vertical fold, as issued. There are two small spots in the lower margin and one in the upper margin, as well as two tiny spots adjacent to the central fold. 1717 is written below the date 1668 in the inscription. The map is otherwise in very good condition. Another map of the "Holy Land" (by Claes Visscher in 1663), with an identical style frame and mat is available. This pair of maps would make a wonderful display grouping. Please see Reference #LU117324709892. Artist: Nicholas Sanson d'Abbeville (1600 - 1667) and his descendents were important French cartographer's active through the 17th century. Sanson started his career as a historian and initially utilized cartography to illustrate his historical treatises. His maps came to the attention of Cardinal Richelieu and then King Louis XIII of France, who became a supporter and sponsor. He subsequently appointed Sanson 'Geographe Ordinaire du Roi' the official map maker to the king. Sanson not only created maps for the king, but advised him on geographical issues and curated his map collection...
