Download or read book Capturing the Holy Land written by Mendel John Diness and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a garage sale in Minnesota in 1989, a young American photographer, John Barnier, bought eight wooden crates containing over 130 glass plate negatives. Realizing that many of the negatives were of Jerusalem, he brought them to the Harvard Semitic Museum where they were eventually identified as the long-lost work of Mendel John Diness, who lived in Jerusalem in the 1850s and was the first photographer to learn--and practice--the art there. Until a decade ago Diness did not even appear in the annals of photography. It was Dror Wahrman, an Israeli historian, who discovered that Diness was a Russian Jewish watchmaker who arrived in Jerusalem in 1848 to pursue rabbinical studies. A year later he converted and his baptism by the Anglican bishop caused near-riots in the city's Jewish community. Having lost his Jewish clients, Diness supported his family by learning photography and eventually became the Holy City's first commercial photographer. This volume traces Diness' role in the history of photography and his life in Jerusalem and subsequently in the United States. From the uncovered negatives, 60 platinum prints were developed showing with utmost clarity rare views of Jerusalem and environs. Other photographs, lent by Diness' descendants, enhance this most unusual tale.

The idea of Testaments of Israel was first conceived during a series of visits to Israel where he shot a portfolio of photographs linked to biblical quotations.Following a successful international business career, John returned to the project and was able to devote the necessary time and resources to bring his concept to fruition and create this unique publication - unquestionably a labour of love.Professor Mark GellerAfter finishing his degrees at Princeton and Brandeis Universities (also spending a year at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem), Mark Geller came to London University in 1973, where he is now Jewish Chronicle Professor.For the past 38 years, Mark has served as Director of the Institute of Jewish Studies at University College London.
