Notes:

The Carmelite monastery on Mt. Carmel. Young trees planted on the ridge are at the left side. The bay is in the distance.; The photograph was originally housed in a burlap-covered box which was decorated with crewelwork with symbols and borders on four sides and the lid. The names "Bethlehem," "Bethanie," "Nazar[eth]," and "Jerusalem" each appear on one of the four sides. A pamphlet entitled "Souvenirs Photographiques d'un Pélerinage du Pénitence en Terre-Sainte par M. l'abbé Fromet, curé d'Angé (Loir-et-Cher)" and a list of the mounted photographs accompanies the XBD collection. No title appears on the matte or on the photograph. A handwritten "4" on the matte refers to the number in the pamphlet.; Condition: Good; some fading
