Coptisch klooster, Jeruzalem, Palestina ["268 IX Station, couvent Cophte. - XI Station. Coptic convent"] c. 1850 - 1900

This photograph, titled "Coptisch klooster, Jeruzalem, Palestina," was taken by Maison Bonfils between 1850 and 1900. The image captures a narrow, cobblestone alleyway leading to the entrance of a Coptic monastery in Jerusalem. The perspective, looking up at the building, emphasizes the towering presence of the monastery, with its ornate doorway and stone walls. This work is an example of 19th-century documentary photography, providing a glimpse into the architectural and religious landscape of Palestine during this period. The image is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
