Rare album with 30 photochrome plates featuring scenes in and near Jerusalem around the end of the 19th century. Ca. 1890-1910. Qu.8°. Hlwd. Each image

Beautifully colored and pristine, showing even fine details and shadows. Descriptions on images in three languages (English, German, French). Undated and with no indication of printing location or company. The images appear to depict Jerusalem under Ottoman control and must have been made after the invention of the photochrome process in the 1880s, so they are most likely from around 1890-1910. - Boards rubbed and slightly scratched, particularly in the corners.
