Jérusalem, Tombeau des Juges, Détails 1854 - 1859

This is a photograph of the Tomb of the Judges in Jerusalem, taken by the French photographer Auguste Salzmann between 1854-1859. The image captures the intricate details of the tomb's entrance, featuring a carved stone lintel with floral motifs and a dark opening leading into the interior. Salzmann was a prominent photographer of the Holy Land, and his work provides a valuable historical record of the region's architecture and archaeology. This photograph, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to Salzmann's meticulous approach to documenting the architectural wonders of Jerusalem.
