Photograph by felix bonfires, 1870-80 of a side entrance to the church of the holy sepulcher in jerusalem. "during one of these visits we sat for a while on a bench by the wall of the church not far from the entrance to the holy sepulcher. It was interesting to note the diversity of costumes and to watch the difference in the behavior of the tourists and pilgrims of the various nationalities. Palestine appeared to us to be a land where history and tradition were so curiously mixed that it was difficult to know where history ended and tradition began" a trip to the orient, robert jacob - 1907. Date: 1870s.
