EDITORS COMMENTS
Interieur de la Porte de Jaffa, ca. 1870: A Glimpse into Jerusalem's Historic Walls". This print by Felix Bonfils takes us back to the enchanting city of Jerusalem in the late 19th century. The image showcases the bustling entrance of Bab al Khalil, also known as Hebron Gate or Jaffa Gate, one of the main gateways to the Old City. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to a lively scene filled with people going about their daily lives. Donkeys, reliable beasts of burden for centuries, patiently carry goods through the narrow streets lined with ancient buildings and shops. The signboards beckon tourists with promises of unique souvenirs from this holy land. Bonfils' masterful composition captures not only the architectural beauty but also offers a glimpse into everyday life within these historic walls. This memento transports us to a time when travel was an arduous adventure and photography itself was still in its infancy. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly preserves this remarkable albumen silver print that encapsulates both cultural heritage and artistic excellence. Through Bonfils' lens, we can almost hear echoes from centuries past whispering tales of trade, spirituality, and human connection within these walled town boundaries. Step closer to this window into history at The Met and immerse yourself in Félix Bonfils' timeless documentation of Jerusalem's rich tapestry.
