Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(John, xix: 16.)--The way along which our Savior
was led from the Judgment Hall to the place of crucifixion is called the Via Dolorosa, or the Way of Sorrow. The Arch of
Ecce Homo is the second station in the Way of Sorrow, for it is said that here the cross was laid upon Christ. There is something
very pathetic about this gloomy street. As one walks along and sees the people kiss the various stations, thereby evidencing
their deep love for the Man of Sorrows, it is sufficient to call forth tears from the hardest heart. Beginning with the palace
of Pilate and ending with Calvary, the Via Dolorosa is the most loved street in the world, and it is the only street in history
made famous by one single person walking over it one time." "Vol. 2" and "E" are printed beneath the text
