Description

This lithograph depicts a serene view of the city of Haifa at the base of Mount Carmel. In the foreground, several figures in traditional attire are gathered near a shoreline framed by tall palm trees. The background shows the calm waters of the bay, leading to the distant hills and scattered palm trees, with the city’s architecture blending into the natural landscape. The scene captures the tranquil beauty and geographic features of the region during the mid-19th century, highlighting both the natural and human elements of the setting.

This work was part of Le pays d’Israël, an album created by Carol Wilhelm Meredith van de Velde and published in 1857. The lithographs were produced by Léon Jean Baptiste Sabatier and printed by Lemercier in Paris.
