Gezicht op Jeruzalem vanaf de zuidelijke stadsmuur 1859 - 1861

"Gezicht op Jeruzalem vanaf de zuidelijke stadsmuur" is a stereoscopic photograph taken by Francis Frith in 1859-1861 and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection. The image captures a panoramic view of Jerusalem's southern city wall. The photograph's stereoscopic format, popular in the mid-19th century, creates a three-dimensional effect, immersing the viewer in the scene. This detail of the city wall, taken from a slightly elevated perspective, highlights the craftsmanship of the ancient structure and provides a sense of the city's history and enduring strength. Frith's photographic documentation of Jerusalem contributed to a growing interest in the Holy Land during the 19th century.
