Jerusalem Through The Stereoscope (1909)

Jerusalem Through The Stereoscope is a book published in 1909 by Jesse Lyman Hurlbut. The book features a collection of stereoscopic photographs of the city of Jerusalem, taken during the early 20th century. The photographs are presented in pairs, with each pair depicting the same scene from slightly different angles. When viewed through a stereoscope, the two images merge into a single, three-dimensional image that gives the viewer a sense of depth and perspective.The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of Jerusalem. The first section provides an overview of the city's history, geography, and religious significance. The subsequent sections explore various landmarks and neighborhoods, including the Temple Mount, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Jewish Quarter.In addition to the photographs, the book includes detailed descriptions of each scene, providing historical and cultural context for the images. Hurlbut also includes a brief guide to using a stereoscope, as well as a glossary of terms related to stereoscopic photography.Overall, Jerusalem Through The Stereoscope offers a fascinating glimpse into the city of Jerusalem as it appeared over a century ago, and provides a unique perspective on the city's rich history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
