"Gezicht op het Dal van Hinnom en een gezicht op een trap op de Engelse begraafplaats in Jeruzalem" (View of the Valley of Hinnom and a view of a staircase in the English cemetery in Jerusalem) is a stereoscopic photograph created by James McDonald before 1865. This albumen print showcases two scenes: the Valley of Hinnom, looking south from the Jaffa Gate, and a close-up of a tomb in the English Cemetery cut into the face of the rock. The work exemplifies McDonald's interest in documenting the landscape and architecture of Jerusalem, offering viewers a glimpse into the city's historical and religious significance. The stereoscopic format enhances the viewer's perception of depth, adding to the realism of the scenes.
