This stereoscopic photograph, taken in 1905 by an unknown photographer, depicts the ruins of the "Well of Job" in Jerusalem, known locally as Bera d.bösen Rates, which translates to "The Well of the Evil Counsel." The image showcases a crumbling stone structure partially obscured by vegetation, hinting at the site's historical significance. The figure walking towards the well, captured in both frames, adds a sense of scale and invites viewers to imagine the daily life surrounding this ancient site. The image is part of the "Collection Hentschel," a series of stereoscopic views of the Holy Land published by Bruno Hentschel in the early 20th century.
