Flowers of the Holy Land
At the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, souvenir albums were created for pilgrims and other travelers to the Holy Land. This olive wood album, embossed with the word Jerusalem in English and Hebrew, contains pressed flowers gathered from Jerusalem and other sacred sites as remembrances of a journey to the Holy Land. The sites were identified in Hebrew, German, French, and English. The album is opened to a sprig of red flowers from the Sharon plains along the Mediterranean coast.
