All of these paintings were done by Stanley Meltzoff and were printed in national Geographic Magazine. There were a few other paintings and pictures, but these were my favorites. I hope you enjoy them.

I cringe at the thought of what National Geographic would publish today.

Thanks for posting; great illustrations.
But someday I need to track down a painting of the triumphant Crusaders (1099 AD)
gathered in front of The Dome of The Rock.
It's a truly stunning painting.
I think the caption in the Newsweek article said that it was in The Louvre.
(I wonder if it's still on display...)

Here is a link to the relic known as "The Holy Lance of Longinus!" Returned by the Crusaders it was "owned" by the Holy Roman Emporers of Austro-Hungaria until "taken" by Hitler. Enjoy the read

Ha! I was born just before this issue came out, which is to say I missed the "pro-Crusades" era. I grew up in the "evil Crusaders" era.
But, you wait long enough, and the truth comes around again. I haven't heard anyone bad-mouthing the Crusades for a while.
