The Tomb of David located on Mount Zion outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. The site considered to be the burial place of the biblical King David of Israel, according to Christian, Jewish and Muslim tradition dating back to a time between 9th to 12th century AD. Most historians and archaeologists do not support this belief. The 'tomb' stands on the remains of the remains of what is considered to be either a Byzantine church or late Roman-era synagogue. The Abbey of the Dormition which stands next to the 'tomb' today was built only in 1900-1910.
This photograph was included in the album Souvenir D'Orient. Album Pittoresque des Sites, Villes et Ruines les plus remarquables de la la Terre-Sainte, issued in 1878, as well as in Palestine and Egypt, issued in March 1894.

Albumen print. 220 x 280 cm. Very good tonal range and in good condition, pasted on original mount, photographer's title and number in negative.
