Jérusalem, Village de Siloam, Vue générale
Imprimerie photographique de Blanquart-Évrard, à Lille|Auguste Salzmann
1854 · Salted paper print from paper negative · Photographs
Salzmann recorded the entire town of Siloam in a single view. Framed by bands of earth and sky, the village appears as striations of stones embedded in a steep hill. Seemingly as vacant as Bethlehem (pictured in the plate at left), this town, too, drew Salzmann’s attention for its associations with biblical sites—in particular, the healing waters of the Pool of Siloam.
