Nablus, listed here under its older spelling Napulus, lies in a valley between Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, on the site of the biblical city of Shechem. Mount Gerizim is sacred to the Samaritans, whose small community has lived in and around Nablus for centuries and still observes its traditions on the mountain. This view was made by the photochrom process, an early color method developed in Zürich and sold in America by the Detroit Publishing Company, which issued Holy Land scenes like this one to tourists in the 1890s and 1900s. Printed from several lithographic stones, each carrying one color, the image gives the hillsides and town a soft, painted look.
