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.

After merging the two, we get the combined then and now
