Jérusalem, Rue du quartier arabe, 2 1854 - 1859

This 19th-century photograph titled "Jérusalem, Rue du quartier arabe, 2" by Auguste Salzmann captures the narrow, cobblestone streets of the Arab Quarter in Jerusalem. The image, created between 1854 and 1859, provides a glimpse into the city's historic architecture and urban landscape. The perspective of the photograph, looking down the street towards an arched passageway, emphasizes the cramped nature of the neighborhood, and the stone buildings lining the street showcase traditional architectural elements. This photograph is an important example of early photography and a valuable document of life in Jerusalem during the mid-19th century.
