Photographic Walks
Through Jerusalem

A

rchaeological

remains
of the various periods
of Israel's ancient
history are clearly evident on
both sides of the wall surroun-
ding the Old City of
Jerusalem. But have you ever
wondered what visitors to the
Holy Land saw when visiting
the same sites a century or so
ago? Jerusalem was never the
unchanging, eternal city of
popular myth, and nothing
shows this better than a look
at photographs of the city as
it was in the nineteenth cen-
tury. The development of the
camera in the middle of the
last century affords us this in-
sight, Vivienne Silver ex-
plains, as she takes me on a
"then and now" walk around
part of the city.
Ms. Silver, who came to
Israel from Zimbabwe in
1971, is a photo-historian, the
granddaughter of two
photographers, and owner of
Israel's only photo gallery,
the Silver Print Gallery. She
collects rare old photographs,
selling reproductions of them,
and leads groups around the
Old City.
Participants in the walk are
given old photographs and en-
couraged to take their own
shots of the same sight as it
is today. Ms. Silver also en-
courages tourists to compile a
then and now photo album.
Personal photos, she claims,
are part of history. "In order
to learn about the history of
Jerusalem, we are partially
reliant on personal snap-
shots," she points out, "for to-
day's snapshots are tomor-
row's history."
The Silver Print Gallery is
a place not only for buying
sepia-tone reproductions of
old photographs, but also for
lectures and seminars on the
history of the Land of Israel,
as recorded by photographers,
and photo-history. Ms. Silver

believes that lectures of this
kind are particularly suitable
for youth groups and are a
good follow-up to the tour.
The walk, which is led in
either English or Hebrew,
takes between two and four
hours of easy walking, but the
tour can be left at any point.
It starts at the Dung Gate,
continues towards the
Western Wall, where Ms.
Silver shows picturesque
photos of an Arab grazing
sheep in front of Robinson's
Arch, and then up through
the Jewish Quarter. The

Participants in the
walk are given old
photographs and
encouraged to
take their own
shots of the same
sight as it is today.

reconstructed arch of the
Hurva synagogue finally falls
into place as part of the sup-
port of the synagogue's dome.
Out through the Zion Gate
and along the side of the Dor-
mition Abbey, the tour sud-
denly comes out at the top of
Mount Zion, where looking
down one can see Mishkenot
Sha'ananim, the first Jewish
settlement built outside the
Old City walls. The enclosed
atmosphere of the Old City
and the open spaces beyond
the wall allow the modern
tourist to feel some of what
the first Jews to settle outside
the wall must have felt. A pic-
ture of a similar view from
the 1860's shows Sir Moses
Montefiore's windmill
without its blades.
The walk - continues
through Sultan's Pool and
back up to the Jaffa Gate;
along the ramparts of the Old
City and past the Christian
