Palm trees and a camel rider in the foreground set this lithographic view apart, pointing to the Near Eastern setting as much as to the city itself. Views like this were produced in quantity during the nineteenth century, when readers in Europe and America were eager for images of the Holy Land and artists' sketches were transferred to lithographic stone for reproduction. Lithography made such scenes affordable for books and prints, and figures like camels and palms were a common convention meant to evoke an ancient, timeless city. The picture is best read as an interpretation of Jerusalem as viewers imagined it, rather than a precise record of how it looked.
