Palestine Lost:
Stereopticon Images of Palestine from the Early 1900’s
Stereopticon Images of Palestine from the Early 1900’s
Stereopticon images, or lantern slides, became popular in the late 1800’s as a way for armchair travelers to experience faraway places. Viewed through an image merging device, the dual photographs become three-dimensional, resulting in a realistic, you are there feeling. The Jerusalem Fund Gallery showcases 45 rare images of a Palestine that has been mostly erased from view, a Palestine of people, farms, homes and life that for a large part only exists in these images and in memory.
