1920List1734Jerusalem 1920. Silver gelatin photographs measuring 11 ½ x 9 ¼ inches hand colored. Some light normal wear near fine overall quite attractive and suitable for framing. Fine. The American Colony in Jerusalem started by 1881 by members of a Christian utopian society led by Anna and Horatio Spafford of Chicago developed in the next fifty years into one of the primary photographic historians of the city prior to Zionism. The Spaffords were joined by the Swedish American and Swedish-American Christians. They eventually moved into the former residence of Rabbah Effendi al-Husseini who served as an official during the Ottoman era. The building is the site of the current American Colony hotel. <br /> <br /> Collected here are seven hand-colored photographs taken and sold during their period of prolific output. They are particularly well preserved examples showing the group’s skill for hand coloring. Little is known about the photographers themselves or their processes and the group’s history continues to be delineated by curator Rachel Lev who has housed their archive in one of the colony’s outbuildings. Original examples of the group’s work are not terribly common on the market despite their important role in documenting the region during this period. unknown

The American Colony produced created developed printed hand-coloured and sold thematic photographs stereoviews panoramic photos postcards custom hand-coloured glass lantern slides along with deluxe thematic souvenir albums such as this one. The series included here which incorporates a view of the room for the Last Supper and a nicely composed image of a beautifully terraced Garden of Gethsemane follows with the Stations of the Cross. The often incorporate residents in their daily lives watering donkeys pilgrims praying at Stations merchants and those wandering through the gates and winding streets of the ancient city. The photographers have captured the baroque & ornate Station Calvary the Church of the Holy Sepulchre a view of the Dome of the Rock and a teeming scene of women men and families seated and standing praying at the Wailing Wall. The American Colony emerged from the evangelical “End Times†beliefs inculcated by Horatio Spafford and Anna Larssen Spafford in 19th-Century Chicago who despite their profitable lectures the support & encouragement of Dwight Moody and at best questionable financial chicanery shipped out for the Holy Land in 1881 ahead of their creditors for $ 100000. Eventually the largely “celibate†commune controlled by “Messages from God†to Anna Spafford and through lectures and charity merged with Olof Larson’s “Doomsday†Larsonite believers along with Frederick Vester and a number of photographers began operating the American Colony store near the Jaffa gate and vastly expanding their tourist photographic operations. By 1910 they had several employees and the noted American Colony photographers such as Elijah Meyers and Lewis Larsson extended their talents across Palestine capturing not only the River Jordan but life in Bethlehem Bethany Syria Damascus and many other locations across the Ottoman Empire controlled areas. Although the American Colony projected a harmonious community bound together by simple Christian piety the sect was tightly controlled by Anna who not only restricted and monitored all correspondence by Colony members ordered shunning of those who ignored her dictates and maintained direct control over their finances. She also enforced marital celibacy until she “received a Message†that her daughter Bertha and Frederick Vester could marry in 1904.

16933831693. Leaf. Very Good . Folio 26.5 x 19.2cm handcolored engraving from Evangelicae Historiae Imagines "Illustrations of the Gospel Stories". Ignatius Loyola suggested to his friend Jerome Nadal the need of commissioning a series of engraings that used perspective and annotations to draw the reader into the biblical stories so they could become more real and of use to daily meditation. The artists for this work were the best Flemish engravers of the day including members of the Wierx family C. de Mallory and A. Collaert all related to the Galle publishers of Antwerp. Most of the plates are after drawings of the Italian artist Bernardo Passari and a few are after drawings by Martin de Vos. This engraving is from a later French edition published in Paris by Jean Baptiste Loison in 1683. A little dusty with light staining minor scuffing. Note: we grade conservatively and endeavor to identify any defects that might affect overall quality and price. unknown

65771Jerusalem; American Colony Jerusalem c.1898. Original gelatin silver print 29 x 23 cm of produce sellers marketing their wares to passers-by on a Bethlehem street; bottom right corner stamped by the American Colony Jerusalem. Some light wrinkling crease down the middle of image. Generally very good. The American Colony in Jerusalem was founded by Chicago Presbyterians Horatio and Anne Stafford in 1881. With an initial following of sixteen they set out to establish a Christian Utopia inside the Holy City's ancient walls. Horatio died of malaria in 1888 yet the movement continued to grow mainly preoccupying itself with feeding and educating the city's poor and disadvantaged. Charity of this kind required a regular stream of income which flowed in part from the sale of photographs taken initially by Elijah Meyers a Jewish convert living in Jerusalem. The Colony's Photographic Branch continued to document the sights and scenes of Jerusalem until internal disagreement lead to its dissolution in the 1950s.
