Ruïnes van een bisschoppelijk paleis in de Wadi Feiran vallei 1859 - 1861

This stereoscopic photograph, "Ruïnes van een bisschoppelijk paleis in de Wadi Feiran vallei" (Ruins of a Bishop's Palace in the Wadi Feiran Valley) by Francis Frith, was taken between 1859 and 1861. Frith was a renowned English photographer who documented the landscapes and cultures of the Middle East in the mid-19th century. The photograph captures the ruins of an ancient building in the Wadi Feiran valley, with the dry riverbed and surrounding mountains providing a stark yet beautiful backdrop. This evocative image of a forgotten historical site highlights Frith's talent for capturing the grandeur of nature and the passage of time through the lens of his camera.
