EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece print captures the explorations led by Lieutenant Charles Warren and his men near the southern wall of the Haram al Sharif in Jerusalem. Published in the Quarterly Statement of the Palestine Exploration Fund in January 1911, this lithograph showcases the remarkable efforts undertaken on behalf of the fund. Lieutenant Charles Warren, a distinguished member of the British Royal Engineers, played a pivotal role in these excavations. One notable aspect of his work was his invitation to visitors to descend one of his safer shafts using a pulley system. This intriguing detail is depicted with an image of a lady in a crinoline descending into one such shaft inside a bucket. The scene portrayed here reflects both manual labor and meticulous exploration. The soldiers and explorers are seen engaged in digging tunnels while working diligently within their campsite. The presence of tents adds an air of authenticity to this depiction, emphasizing that these endeavors were not without challenges or sacrifices. As we delve into this engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection, it becomes evident that it symbolizes more than just archaeological exploration; it represents human curiosity and determination to uncover history's hidden treasures. It serves as a testament to Lieutenant Charles Warren's dedication and leadership during these significant excavations carried out by the Palestine Exploration Fund. This historical artwork transports us back to an era when discovery was fueled by sheer passion for knowledge, leaving us awe-inspired by those who dared venture into uncharted territories beneath Jerusalem's sacred grounds.
