EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of the Plain of Jezreel in Northern Israel during the 1920s. The image showcases the rolling hills of Little Hermon in the foreground, their rugged terrain dotted with scrubby vegetation and the occasional solitary tree. In the background, the majestic Mount Gilboa rises, its peaks shrouded in mist and mystery. The Plain of Jezreel, also known as the Jezreel Valley, has been a focal point of history and religious significance for thousands of years. It is mentioned numerous times in the Hebrew Bible, including the famous story of Deborah and Barak's victory over the Canaanites, and the prophecy of the Messianic Age. The plain has also been the site of numerous archaeological discoveries, including the ruins of ancient cities such as Megiddo and Jezreel. Mount Gilboa, located to the west of the plain, is another historically significant site. It is where King Saul and his son Jonathan are said to have committed suicide after their defeat by the Philistines in 1010 BCE. The mountain range has also been a source of inspiration for poets and artists throughout history, including Lord Byron and Vincent van Gogh. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the land of Israel was still largely untouched by modern development. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of this region, which continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
