Jérusalem, Village de Siloam, Vue générale, 1854, Salted paper print from paper negative, Image: 23.2 x 32.2 cm (9 1/8 x 12 11/16 in.), Photographs, Auguste Salzmann (French, 1824–1872), Salzmann recorded the entire town of Siloam in a single view. Framed by bands of earth and sky, the village appears as striations of stones embedded in a steep hill. Seemingly as vacant as Bethlehem (pictured in the plate at left), this town, too, drew Salzmann’s attention for its associations with biblical sites—in particular, the healing waters of the Pool of Siloam
