A full spread coffee-table colored photo e-book of the Holy Land as seen at the beginning of the 20th century. Thousands of pilgrims and tourists walked and rode the "Pilgrimage Route" of the Holy Land in the second half of the 19th century…. Christians, Jews and visitors of all denominations, inspired by the Bible and the Holy Scriptures, looked forward to an exciting and spiritual visit; however, the reality was harsh and disappointing…… Nevertheless, most visitors tried to ignore the daily inconveniences and to imagine the place as the Land of the Bible…. In order to preserve these memories and carry them back home, tourists and pilgrims purchased souvenirs such as photo and picture albums, postcards and olive-wood articles. The "Imberger Album" was one of the better souvenirs offered on the market…. The postcard size album comprised twenty-nine colored photos of historic sites and scenes in the Holy Land… Its small dimensions and superb quality were simply outstanding. Readers of this book are invited to go back in time to the beginning of the 20th century and virtually follow the Pilgrimage Route in the Holy Land… In this electronic edition, a detailed caption is included with each album picture, with additional pictures or photos depicting the same site as photographed today or as painted at the turn of the century by Orientalist artists.
