Notes:

The Via Dolorosa.; The photograph is in a book with a typed description. The description: "(Isaiah, 1:6.)--'I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.' The houses of Dives and Lazarus make up a station in the Via Dolorosa. The Via Dolorosa is the gloomy and sad way over which our Savior walked to Calvary. It begins with the Palace of Pilate, which is now the Governor's serai. Over one of the buildings on this way the Scala Santa or staircase leading to the judgment hall stood until removed by Constantine to the basilica of Saint John Lateran, in Rome. We have along this way the Church of the Flagelation, or the Church of the Crowning with Thorns, the arch of Ecce Homo, Convent of the Sisters of Zion, and at the bottom of the valley, the house of Dives. Pilgrims who visit Jerusalem during the Easter weeks make it a point to pass over and meditate along this sad way." The copyright year and photographer's name are printed at the bottom of the photograph, along with "Franklin Co Eng-Chi."; The photograph was not catalogued by Lazard--it was catalogued at LKCAJS.; Condition: Good
