Gezicht op het huis van de Heilige Veroncia before 1878

"Gezicht op het huis van de Heilige Veroncia" is a black and white photograph taken by Félix Bonfils, a renowned photographer who specialized in capturing scenes of the Middle East. The image depicts a narrow street in Jerusalem, likely leading to the house of Saint Veronica, a figure in Christian tradition who wiped the face of Jesus Christ on his journey to crucifixion. Bonfils was known for his albumen prints, which were widely distributed during the 19th century, making these photographic records of historical sites accessible to a broad audience. This photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the architectural landscape of Jerusalem in the late 19th century.
