Mannen bij de bron Ein as-Sultan bij Jericho c. 1867 - 1895

"Mannen bij de bron Ein as-Sultan bij Jericho" is a black and white photograph by Maison Bonfils, taken in the late 19th century. The photograph depicts a scene of men by a spring, likely the Ein as-Sultan spring near Jericho, which is an important biblical site. The image captures a moment in time in the Holy Land, offering a glimpse into the lives of local people and the landscape of the region. It is a prime example of photographic documentation of the Orient in the 19th century, popularized by Bonfils' photographic business that operated out of Beirut, Lebanon. The photograph is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
