Description
Photo album, ca. 20 × 15 cm. 10 ff. with 20 albumen prints (each ca. 5.5 × 8.5 cm). Later black shark (?) leather. Portable album with twenty late 19th-century photographs of various locations in Jerusalem, primarily the Western Wall, the al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Mosque of Omar. The carte-de-visite size images are beautifully sharp and clear, with rich tonal quality. They depict both the interior and exterior of the mosques with great detail, showcasing the beauty of Islamic architecture. - With an owner's inscription in Arabic on the front pastedown. The tissue paper guards are partly browned. Otherwise in good condition.
