Re-View: S231 (Islamic rotation: 2) Sacred Sites: Nineteenth Century Photographs of Jerusalem

This small selection of photographs depicts sites in and around Jerusalem—including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock—that are held sacred in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Drawn from a recent acquisition of 19th-century material, the objects on view include an early salt print by Auguste Salzmann, albumen prints by Robertson and Beato and Louis De Clercq, and a magnificent mammoth plate print by Francis Frith.
