This is an original 1849 black and white copper engraving of Tiberias, a city on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. Tiberias is one of Judaism's four holy cities. Mount Hermon can be seen in the distance. We are assuming that the artist of this image is W. H. Bartlet, and the engraver, J. B. Neagle.

Period Paper is pleased to present a rare collection of copper-plate engravings depicting the Jewish antiquities and the Jewish War from a translation of Flavius Josephus' genuine works. Josephus (37-100 AD), was a Jewish historian and provided valuable information on the background of early Christianity, and of Judaism in the 1st century. These copper-plate engravings, which accompanied the manuscript, offer remarkable depth and vivid detailing. Please take a closer look at these images, as they are absolutely stunning in their contrast, and would look exceptional framed.
