Beit-Lehem, Mosaïque de l'Église I 1854 - 1859

Auguste Salzmann's "Beit-Lehem, Mosaïque de l'Église I" is a photo-lithograph depicting the interior of a church in Bethlehem. The detail captures the architecture, including a mosaic, and figures in the background. The artwork is a record of the artist's travels in the Middle East, a style for which he is known. Salzmann's works are important as they document the ancient world before modernization, and he used a new process to produce them. This example, dated between 1854 and 1859, can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
