Gezicht op Samaria, rechts de schaduw van de fotograaf 1898

"Gezicht op Samaria, rechts de schaduw van de fotograaf" is a 1898 photograph by Johannes Lodewijk Heldring, capturing the ancient city of Samaria in Palestine. The photograph showcases the ruins of the city, framed by rolling hills and a foreground of dry, dirt road. The image emphasizes the historical significance of the site, with its weathered landscape and ancient structures. The inclusion of the photographer's shadow adds a personal touch and underscores the enduring legacy of the ancient city. The photograph is a prime example of Heldring's work as a travel photographer, capturing the beauty and history of the Middle East.
