EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the conquest of Jerusalem by Caliph Omar, Muhammad's devoted disciple, in 638. The image is an advertising vignette from the 19th century, created by the French School and now part of a private collection. In this scene, we witness the power and might of Caliph Omar's army as they enter Jerusalem on horseback and camel. The military procession stretches far into the distance, symbolizing their dominance over the land. The chromolithography technique used to create this artwork enhances its vibrancy and detail. Jerusalem holds immense historical and religious significance for multiple faiths around the world. This conquest marked a turning point in its history as it transitioned under Islamic rule. It is fascinating to observe how this event was depicted during the 19th century when Europe had a growing interest in Orientalism. Leonard de Selva beautifully captured this momentous occasion through his lens, showcasing both the grandeur of Caliph Omar's army and their connection with nature through their use of horses and camels. This photograph serves as a reminder of how art can preserve important moments from our past while also offering insight into cultural perceptions at different points in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us appreciate its historical significance while acknowledging that it represents just one perspective among many narratives surrounding Jerusalem's complex history.
