The 1896 chromolithograph, "Aece Hage's View of Jerusalem," created by Arab immigrant Aece Hage in Boston, is a vibrant and intricate portrayal of the city. The print captures the iconic features, including the Old City walls, the Dome of the Rock, and other landmarks. Its historical significance and artistic excellence make it exceptional.

Aece Hage, born in 1857 in Bethlehem, Palestine, came to the United States in 1880, establishing himself in Boston as a printer and chromolithographer. Among his notable works, the 1896 Aece Hage Chromo View of Jerusalem stands out prominently.

This print showcases the meticulous technique of chromolithography, employing multiple stones to craft a full-color image. In the late 19th century, chromolithographs gained popularity due to their ability to produce detailed, colorful prints at a reasonable cost. The 1896 Aece Hage Chromo View of Jerusalem exemplifies the impressive quality achievable through this method.

The print provides a bird's-eye perspective of Jerusalem, placing the Old City walls in the foreground and the Dome of the Rock at the heart of the composition. Additional landmarks such as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Tower of David, and the Jaffa Gate grace the scene. A text border identifies these landmarks, enhancing the print's educational value.

This chromolithograph, the 1896 Aece Hage Chromo View of Jerusalem, is a treasure trove of history and art. It offers a rare window into Jerusalem's late 19th-century appearance, while also serving as a testament to the influential contributions of Arab immigrants to the rich tapestry of American culture.
