Jérusalem, Casque trouvé dans le Jourdain, 2 1854 - 1859

"Jérusalem, Casque trouvé dans le Jourdain, 2" is a photograph by Auguste Salzmann, taken between 1854 and 1859. It depicts a bronze helmet, likely from a Roman soldier, found in the Jordan River. The image highlights the stark contrast between the helmet's weathered surface and the white background. This photographic print is a testament to Salzmann's contribution to documenting the archaeology and historical artifacts of the Holy Land. The photograph is part of a series of images that Salzmann created during his extensive travels in the region. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
