Gezicht op Jeruzalem en de toren Phasaël 1859 - 1861

"Gezicht op Jeruzalem en de toren Phasaël" is a stereoscopic photograph taken by English photographer Francis Frith during his travels in the Holy Land between 1859 and 1861. This detailed image showcases the historic city of Jerusalem, featuring the imposing Phasael Tower, a remnant of Herod the Great's fortress, and the surrounding city walls. Frith's use of stereoscopic photography allows viewers to experience a three-dimensional view of the cityscape, adding a sense of depth and immersion to his documentation of this significant location. This photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable historical record of Jerusalem in the mid-19th century.
