The Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, the subject named in this glass negative's title, is one of the four traditional quarters of the Old City, lying in its southeastern section near the Western Wall. The title comes from caption information supplied by the Bain News Service, a New York agency whose photographers sent images of the wider world to American newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the record is not independently verified. The Bain Collection at the Library of Congress preserves glass plates of this kind, which were the standard medium for press and travel photography of the period. Viewers interested in the scene should note that the record gives no date, so the image's exact moment must be inferred from the collection's general timeframe.
