Large collection comprising over thirty-five photographs presenting landscapes and sites from all parts of Jerusalem. [19th century].
This collection of photographs offers landscapes and sites from all parts of Jerusalem. These photos appeared in various albums by Frith (some are accompanied by the original text pages with which they were bound).
Francis Frith (1822-1898), English photographer and traveler, among the most prominent of the Holy Land’s earliest photographers. Embarked on a journey to Alexandria in 1856, and then spent four years conducting photographic expeditions throughout the Near East. Owing to local conditions, Frith was forced to transport his photographic equipment from place to place on the backs of donkeys, and develop his negatives immediately after taking the photos in makeshift tents that served as his darkrooms. His works are widely regarded as the first professional photographs documenting the Holy Land.

Over 35 photographs, mounted onto cardboard plates originally bound in book form, some in duplicate copies of two or more. Average size: 23X15 cm. Overall good condition. Stains and wear, mostly to cardboard plates.

Jerusalem Rundblick vom Turme der Erlöserkirche, by Bruno Hentschel. Leipzig: Bruno Hentschel, 1898. Large-format edition.
Wide panorama by the Austrian photographer Bruno Hentschel, depicting Jerusalem as seen from the tower of the Church of the Redeemer in the Old City, shortly after its inauguration by Kaiser Wilhelm II.
The panorama comprises eleven numbered photographs, with corresponding numerals referring to a legend identifying the sites (legend lacking). The photographs are mounted on card album leaves, bound accordion-style in a decorated binding.
Bruno Hentschel, born in Salzburg, worked as a photographer and publisher in Leipzig. In the late 1890s he founded the Kunst-Verlag Bruno Hentschel, specializing in photographs, photo albums, and slides. He later established a studio in Jerusalem, which served as a base for photographic expeditions throughout the Levant, North Africa, and Southern Europe. In 1898 he was among the photographers accompanying Kaiser Wilhelm II on his visit to Palestine, and in 1900 he published an album documenting the journey.

Photographs: 23.5X308 cm. Leaves: 35X308 cm. Overall good condition. Minor stains. Leaves detached. Lacking the legend originally issued with the panorama. Binding worn and defective. Inscription to front cover, abraded.
