Photo Illustrations

When were these photographs taken?

We used photographs taken in the second half of the 19-th century – early 20-th century. The earliest picture was made in 1855. They are used for illustration purpose only and, therefore, we decided not to show dates or authorship of these pictures. Old photographs contains images of the nature, structures and people of the Holy Land including the elements of the daily life of the latter. Of course, some personal images can be somehow different from ones you can expect from the people who lived very long time ago, i.e., in the course of Biblical Epoch. We hope that this difference is not very significant, and you can get an appropriate impression how the Holy Land looked like before the modern civilization changed it.

You can do it by clicking icon at the picture fragments you would like to see in details.
