Notes:

A small group of white tents is set amidst some of the buildings of Nazareth. The Church of the Annunciation is walled-in at the lower middle of the photograph.; The photograph is in a book with a typed description. The description: "(Luke, i: 26.)--We have here an excellent view of Nazareth. From the Latin Mount we see the roads and camel paths and hills about the city, with the olive trees and residences at the lower part of the city, and get a beautiful view of one of the loveliest spots under the sun. A view all the more attractive because we know, in addition to the natural features which make it lovely, the eyes of our Savior often beheld it. Perhaps there is not a hill or valley or spot about this, the city of His boyhood, that He did not pass over time and again. The tents that look so small, above the Greek Church of the Annunciation, were the tents of the tourists who passed through Palestine to get the pictures which illustrate this New Testament."
