Gezicht op de Gouden Poort before 1878

"Gezicht op de Gouden Poort" is a photographic album page by Felix Bonfils, a French photographer active in the Middle East in the 19th century. Taken before 1878, the page shows two black and white photographs, one of a hill overlooking the city of Jerusalem and another of the Golden Gate, a historic gate in the city's walls. Bonfils's work documented life in the Middle East for a European audience, capturing architecture, landscapes, and daily life. The album page, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Bonfils's keen eye for detail and his mastery of photographic techniques.
