This albumen print, "Onbekende mannen voor de Apotra fontein bij Jericho," was captured by renowned photographer Félix Bonfils before 1878. The image showcases two scenes: a close-up view of a stone arch bridge in the left panel, and a broader perspective of a village nestled in a landscape on the right. Bonfils, a pioneer of travel photography, was known for capturing the beauty and mystique of the Middle East. This photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to his legacy, providing a glimpse into the landscapes and daily life of the region during the late 19th century.
