"Nablous. The ancient Shechem, or Sychar," a photograph by Francis Bedford taken before 1865, offers a glimpse into the cityscape of Nablous, historically known as Shechem or Sychar. Bedford, a prominent photographer of the 19th century, captured the city's landscape in a detailed composition, showcasing its urban fabric and the surrounding hills. This small-format print, measuring 76 mm by 99 mm, is a testament to Bedford's contribution to the documentation of the Holy Land through photography.
