EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Jerusalem, Piscine de Siloe, Canal taille dans le roc, 1854" transports us back to the ancient city of Jerusalem in the 19th century. Taken by French photographer Auguste Salzmann, this image showcases an archaeological site of great historical significance. The focal point of the print is the impressive water channel known as Breikhat Hashiloah or Pool of Siloam. Carved into solid rock, this canal served as a vital water source for the inhabitants of Jerusalem during biblical times. The meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating such a structure is evident in every detail captured by Salzmann's lens. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are reminded of the rich heritage and cultural importance that Jerusalem holds. This holy land has been a symbol of faith and pilgrimage for centuries, attracting visitors from all corners of the globe. Salzmann's choice to present this photograph in black and white adds a timeless quality to the image. It allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also highlights the textures and contours found within these ancient rocks. Now preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this salted paper print serves as a visual testament to both Salzmann's artistic talent and his dedication to documenting important archaeological sites across Palestine. Through his lens, we can explore history anew and gain insight into civilizations long past.
