Acre (ah’kur or a’kur) is a city of great antiquity at the foot of Mt. Carmel in Palestine. In medieval times, it was a place of great importance, being the key to the Holy Land, and as a result it is famous for many sieges and underwent frequent destruction. Little of interest now remains. A mosque left of center in this etching creates most of the visual interest and drives home the nature of the city of Acre.
