This photograph shows a street in Jerusalem in the late 19th century. As a French photographer, FĂ©lix Bonfils captured the Middle East in the late 19th century from a Western perspective and achieved commercial success due to a European fascination with the 'East'. Photography depicting architecture was a common subject in his work.

This image exists as part of the Bonfils Fiches collection within the Library of Congress project of the Planet Bethlehem Archive.
