The Church of Ireland Library's 115-Year-Old Photographic Treasure - photos of Jerusalem

Israel's History - a Picture a Day (Beta)


Posted: 11 Dec 2013 
Carriage parking lot outside of Jerusalem's Old City's Jaffa Gate and beneath David's Citadel. The photo pre-dates the opening made adjacent to Jaffa Gate to enable entrance of the German Emperor's carriage in 1898.  View inside Jaffa Gate HERE  Credit: RCB Library, 1897). 

We present here Part 2 from the Church of Ireland Library's photographic collection of pictures taken by David Brown in 1897.  View Part 1 HERE

The Church of Ireland's Representative Church Body Library's full collection can be viewed HERE.

The photos here are presented with the permission of the RCB Library.

Century photographers also used this same perspective for a landscape picture of Jerusalem.

Money changer in Jerusalem (apparently Jewish). A picture of money changers was also a standard photo taken by photographers visiting the Holy Land, perhaps because of the New Testament story of Jesus and the money changers.  View an earlier posting on money changers and their unique tables HERE.  (Credit: RCB Library, 1897)

"Plowing with an ox and ass" -- the original caption. This is another standard picture by 19th century photographers,apparently because of the Biblical prohibition "Thou shall not plow with an ox and an ass together" (Deuteronomy XX). View a previous posting on photographing Biblical prohibitions HERE. (Credit: RCB Library, 1897)

The Golden Gate of the Old City. The sealed gates, the closest to the location of the Jewish Temples, face the
Mt. of Olives.  View a previous posting on the Golden Gate, also known as Sha'ar Harachamim, HERE.

David's Citadel - Jerusalem365


By David, a psalm: God's is the 

earth and its fullness, the inhabited 

Land and those who dwell in it.

PSALMS (24:1)

לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר לַי-הוָה הָאָרֶץ 

וּמְלוֹאָהּ תֵּבֵל וְיֹשְׁבֵי בָה

תהילים כ’’ד:א

le-da-VEED meez-MORE la-doe-NIE ha-ah-RETZ
oo-me-loe-AH tay-VEL ve-yoe-she-VEY vah

Jerusalem Inspiration

Year after year, one of the most popular boys 
names is ‘David.’  You might rightly presume that
 the name’s origin goes back to King David, but do 
you know what ‘David’ means in Hebrew? David 
comes from the most ancient Hebrew word for 
"beloved" - dode - as it says, "I am to my beloved 
and my beloved is to me” - ah-NEE le-doh-DEE 
ve-doh-DEE lee, אני לדודי ודודי לי (Song of Songs 6:3). 
David, the humble shepherd and poet who rose 
to become King of Israel, was beloved by God for 
his piety and devotion.

Jerusalem Daily Photo

Did you know that despite being called the “Tower of David”, this famous Jerusalem landmark has no connection to King David? Located near the Old City’s Jaffa Gate, the citadel is actually a medieval fortress with archaeological artifacts from nearly every period of the Holy City’s rich history.
