Taken from the Mount of Olives, this long panorama spreads Jerusalem across a print more than 42 inches wide, so the eye can sweep from the walls to the domes and rooftops in one look. The title appears in both German and French, "Panorama von Jerusalem" and "Panorama de Jerusalem," reflecting the European audience for Holy Land views in the 1860s. It is an albumen print, a process that coated paper with egg white and was widely used for photographs of this kind during that decade. Views like this let viewers feel they had stood on the hill themselves, and they remain useful for comparing the city's appearance with later growth.
