From ancient times the Holy Land has been the focus of great attraction for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. Throughout the ages Jews and Christians have made pilgrimages to the Holy Land, envisaged scenes and stories from the Scriptures, and dreamt of it from afar. Many of them left behind descriptions and studies of the Holy Land accompanied by scenes and drawings. The Eran Laor Cartographic Collection in the National Library of Israel contains about 1,500 maps of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the beginning of print until today.
