Description
Virtually Unknown View of Jerusalem
Rare separately published view of Jerusalem at the time of Christ, published in Vienna and engraved by F. Kraus.
The image includes a rich tapestry of biblical events depicted, with 159 places and events are keyed to the view.
Laor lists a view of Jerusalem by Borowsky and Kraus, but it is not this one. Laor 963 has a title, depicts modern Jerusalem, and does not match this work in size. Little is known about Borowsky.
Rarity
The view is extremely rare on the market. We note two examples, this example and one offered in 2014. Not in Laor.
Provenance: Leonard & Juliet Rothman Collection (purchased from Martayan Lan in 2004).
