AUGUSTE SALZMANN. Jérusalem, Village de Siloam, Vue générale

Jérusalem, Village de Siloam, Vue générale. Artist: Auguste Salzmann (French, 1824-1872). Dimensions: Image: 23.2 x 32.2 cm (9 1/8 x 12 11/16 in.)
Mount: 44.5 x 60 cm (17 1/2 x 23 5/8 in.). Printer: Imprimerie photographique de Blanquart-Évrard, à Lille (French, active 1851-55). Date: 1854.
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.
