"Landscapes of Interesting Localities Mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, Part II (New Testament), is a richly illustrated volume that blends visual artistry with biblical scholarship. Engraved by W. and E. Finden from original sketches by leading landscape painters of the mid-19th century, the book presents evocative views of sacred sites associated with the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and the early Christian church. Each steel engraving—many depicting scenes from Palestine and the broader Near East—is paired with historical and descriptive narratives by Rev. John M. Wilson, offering theological insight and geographical context. The result is a compelling fusion of art and scripture, designed to deepen the reader's appreciation of the New Testament's physical and spiritual landscapes.

Published circa 1852 by A. Fullarton and Co., the volume reflects Victorian-era fascination with biblical archaeology and travel. Wilson's commentary situates each location within its scriptural significance, while the visual renderings aim to transport readers to the terrain of the Gospels and Acts. From the hills of Galilee to the streets of Jerusalem, the book captures both the majesty and intimacy of these storied places. With 93 steel engravings and two hand-colored maps, it serves not only as a devotional aid but also as a cultural artifact—bridging faith, art, and historical imagination in a format that appealed to both scholars and lay readers of its time."
