Notes:

Looking out over the city towards and across the Bay of Naples.; The photograph is in a book with a typed description. The description: "(Jonah, iii:2.)--'Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.' That Jonah was commanded by the Lord to go and preach in Nineveh is an evidence of the fact that the great cities of the nations which surrounded Palestine were no less under the direction and care of Providence than the cities of Palestine itself. Wrongdoing brought its penalties in heathen cities as completely as in Jerusalem. Above we give a picture of Naples from the heights. This city was in the immediate neighborhood of Pompeii, and was close to Baiæ and Puteoli, where the wealthy Romans were accustomed to resort for pleasure. Nero was often here, and Tiberias, who lived before Nero, died here. In no city of history have the awful consequences of sin been more apparent than in the cities around the Bay of Naples." "Vol. 2" and "N' are printed beneath the text.; The photograph was not catalogued by Lazard--it was catalogued at LKCAJS.; Condition: Good
