Israel: Then and Now Photos of Jerusalem

February 13, 20160454

The idea to create then and now photos emerged when I heard that New York Public Library has added many old photo scans to the public domain.

Probably most photos there are from the US, but I decided to check if there are any from Israel as well. And since people from Europe and the US visited this region and took photos, I was able to find them in the New York Library’s Public Domain.

I will show an old photo (most of them were made 100-150 years ago), my recent photo and a combination of both.

Old photo of Jerusalem: This still image of the Dome of the Rock was made in 1864 by Ermete Pierotti.
