The story of Jesus Christ meeting a Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well near town of Sychar (present Aschar, near ancient Shechem), is one of the most iconic encounters in the Bible. The woman's name at the time of the meeting is unknown, however she was later baptized as Photine / Photina / Photini, was martyred for her faith by Emperor Nero, and celebrated as a saint, after. Jesus said to her: "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty." This is the first time when Jesus reveals himself as a Messiah: "I am he, the one who is speaking to you".
Robert Seaton was a British mapmaker, active in Georgian period. He was appointed a Hydrographer to the King (George IV).

Josiah went into publishing business in partnership with his uncle and brother, James Neele, from their office at 352 Strand, London, until 1829. He then continued publishing under his own name from same office until bankruptcy in 1836.

POSTER PRINT QUALITY
Please note that our reproduction posters are made to order and every print is checked before posting. The images we use in most cases are scans of antique originals, professionally restored in order to remove the most evident stains, folds, tears and other damage. We strive to balance the restoration and saving the overall integrity and antique appearance of the original. Our restored images are unique and these prints can be purchased only from VictorianMaps.
There will be no watermark on your image but there might be a white border depending on aspect ratio of the original. Please note that when a large antique original is reduced to a smaller size print some text may not be readable. Please check our measurements: every poster has its own aspect ratio same as original and printed exactly as pictured.
