Graftombe van koning David op de Berg Sion bij Jeruzalem c. 1867 - 1895

This photograph, taken by Maison Bonfils between 1867 and 1895, depicts the Tomb of King David on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. The image showcases a large, flat cemetery with numerous tombstones, a central dirt path, and a building in the background with a minaret. This building is believed to be the Tomb of King David, a site revered by both Muslims and Jews. This photograph, a prime example of 19th-century travel photography, provides a glimpse into the historical and religious significance of Jerusalem during this period.
