Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(II. Kings, xxiii:1-2.)--'And the king sent and
they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all
the men of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people both
small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the Lord.'
The artist who took these pictures, and the writer, arose in Jericho about 2:30 o'clock, and after a slight breakfast started
at 3 o'clock for Jerusalem. We passed by the Judean mountains, as in awful solemnity they stood around us in the quiet moonlight,
and reached Bethany, two miles from Jerusalem, at 8 o'clock. This picture was taken about 8:30 as we approached Jerusalem
from Bethany." Copyright year and photographer's name are printed at the bottom of the photograph. See 5194BAI/LVi112CAJS
