Hand Colored Engraving by Harding / Fitzmaurice: The Plain of Jezereel / Esdra

Somehow a white domed tomb and a single tall palm look across a wide plain

This hand colored engraving is from London, England, United Kingdom, and dates to the 19th century. It is ink on paper. Thomas Allom, an architect and founding member of what became the Royal Institute of British Architects, illustrated books on China in the 1840s without ever making the trip there himself. Shown here is a hand-colored view with a round white building at left, a lone palm, a thin tower, and wide, soft mountains in the distance. A small seated group is in the foreground. It is 9.3 inches wide and 6.3 high.

A quiet vantage and plenty of mountain to look at.
