About the Item
Antique Chromolithograph of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, circa 1890
This captivating chromolithograph titled “Jerusalem” dates to approximately 1890 and presents a sweeping panoramic view of the Holy City from the vantage point of the Mount of Olives. Executed in rich, earthy tones and sky-blues typical of high-quality chromolithographic work of the late 19th century, the image masterfully combines artistic elegance with historical and cultural depth.
The walled city of Jerusalem dominates the upper half of the composition, its golden limestone buildings rendered in careful detail. Key architectural features—domes, minarets, and towers—rise above the skyline, conveying the multi-faith, multi-layered heritage of one of the world’s most sacred cities. The recognizable Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque are prominently placed, along with the Old City's fortifications and surrounding structures.
In the foreground, the rolling terrain of the Kidron Valley leads the viewer’s eye toward the city walls. Clusters of olive trees and scrub vegetation line the landscape, dotted with figures dressed in traditional 19th-century Middle Eastern attire. These figures—some seated, some with animals—animate the scene and hint at the region’s pastoral rhythms and pilgrimage culture. The juxtaposition of daily rural life with the spiritual grandeur of Jerusalem creates a powerful visual and emotional narrative.
Chromolithographs like this were widely produced for educational atlases, travel books, and religious publications, often aimed at a European audience fascinated by biblical geography and the exoticism of the East. Today, this image appeals to collectors of Holy Land prints, 19th-century travel art, and Judaica, or anyone drawn to historically rich and reverent imagery.

19th-Century Chromolithograph of Bethlehem – Biblical Landscape of 1862
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: 19th-Century Chromolithograph of Bethlehem – Biblical Landscape After David Roberts
Description:
This remarkable 19th-century chromolithograph presents a sweeping and historically significant view of Bethlehem, one of the most revered locations in Christian history. The print originates from the 1862 publication *De Middelaar God en der Menschen - Tafereelen uit Jezus' Leven en Werk op Aarde* by J.J.L. Ten Kate, published by Gebroeders Kraay in Amsterdam. The composition is based on an original plate by the renowned British artist David Roberts (1796–1864), whose breathtaking illustrations of biblical sites remain highly sought after by collectors.
The scene captures the rugged and rolling hills leading to Bethlehem, with its ancient buildings and religious structures nestled among the rocky terrain. The foreground features a winding path where travelers on foot and horseback make their way toward the city, while the distant mountains add depth and grandeur to the composition. Notably, the Church of the Nativity, one of the oldest and most significant Christian sites, can be seen among the buildings, emphasizing the town's deep historical and spiritual significance.
The chromolithographic technique used in this print allows for subtle color variations and fine detailing, bringing the landscape to life with a soft, naturalistic palette. This piece is particularly appealing to collectors of biblical art, historical views of the Holy Land, and 19th-century travel prints...
