Notes:
People are on two masted boats and other people are on the beach.; The photograph is mounted facing a page of wildflowers which are labeled (in French, English and German) as coming from Bethphage. The album cover is polished wood with a colored inlay. The title is inked on the cover along with the subtitle ("Jerusalem" in Hebrew). The title page contains the title in French, English and German and a handwritten dedication from 1904. An earlier page contains a dedication dated 1921. The back cover contains crosses.; The photograph was not catalogued by Lazard--it was catalogued at LKCAJS. Lazard questioned whether the photograph was colored by Photochrom Zurich. The Dumas notation refers to photograph 4487DUM/ABK10CAJS.; Condition: Good but some crayon or marker has been scribbled on top of the image; Lazard inserted handwritten notations inside the front cover: "18 photographies colorers PZ? 1 de Dumas nonfiche."
