Description
Français : Forteresse de Sion - Jérusalem.
English: The original French title translates to "Zion fortress" / "stronghold of Zion".

Cf. a better-quality copy.

  • Foreground/left: the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, seen from the northeast.
  • Midground/center: the Tower of David Citadel:
  • Midground/right (the shaded wall) is the the inside of the northern part of the western city wall.
    • The Jaffa Gate doesn't seem to be visible from this angle. (Cf. another view). But the gate area would be in front of & below the citadel's NW tower.
    • This was before the wall gap was made, but that area is probably likewise obscured.
  • Background/right (the lit wall) is the outside of the southern part of the western city wall.

Licensing

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1872, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
