Large panoramic view of Jerusalem taken from the Mount of Olives, engraved on wood for La Ilustracion Espanola y Americana on the occasion of the German emperor's journey to the Holy Land in 1898. Below, a numbered key identifies the Temple Mount esplanade, the Holy Sepulchre, the Damascus Gate and the other buildings.
Wilhelm II entered Jerusalem in October 1898 to consecrate the Church of the Redeemer; the journey had an enormous echo in the European illustrated press, which devoted panoramic spreads such as this one, over a meter long, to it.
Medium: Wood engraving; folding sheet
Date: 1898
Source: La Ilustracion Espanola y Americana
Dimensions: 42.1 x 15.7 in (107 x 40 cm)
