Notes:

The Mount of Olives, and the valley below, with a church tower on the summit.; The photograph is in a book with a typed description beneath. The description: "(Luke, xix:37.) Our Savior always had to pass over the Mount of Olives in going from Jerusalem to Bethany. While coming down this mountain the whole multitude of the disciples met Christ and began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, 'Blessed be the king that cometh in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.' The supreme interest of the road from Jericho is that it was trod by our blessed Lord when He came up to Jerusalem for the last time, passing the Mount of Olives, at the base of which he was to bow in anguish, and from whose eastern slope He was to ascend to heaven. There is infinite fascination for tempted mortals about this lonely mount to-day." "Vol. 2" and "D" are printed beneath the text.; The photograph was not catalogued by Lazard--it was catalogued at LKCAJS.; Condition: Good
