Jérusalem, Enceinte du Temple, Vue générale de la face Est, Pl. 3 1854 - 1859

"Jérusalem, Enceinte du Temple, Vue générale de la face Est, Pl. 3" (1854-59) is a striking photograph by Auguste Salzmann, showcasing a panoramic view of Jerusalem's Temple Mount from the east. This calotype, part of Salzmann's extensive photographic documentation of the Holy Land, captures the dense urban landscape, with its numerous buildings and domes, stretching out under a clear sky. This photograph, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a remarkable visual record of Jerusalem during the mid-19th century.
