Etang de Liloe 1870s

“Etang de Liloe” is a 19th-century photograph by Félix Bonfils, a French photographer known for his documentation of the Middle East. The image captures a serene landscape featuring a tranquil pond surrounded by bare trees, with the rocky slopes of a valley rising in the background. The photo is a testament to Bonfils’s meticulous documentation of the region and his ability to capture the beauty of the natural world. This photograph, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, provides a glimpse into the landscape of Palestine in the 1870s.
