A fine pictorial survey of Jerusalem by the Italian engineer and archaeologist Ermete Pierotti, who had come to Jerusalem in 1854, having been chosen by the Ottoman governor to serve as a consultant on the renovations of the Temple Mount. He had full access to all areas of Jerusalem and in 1864 he published this work which he dedicated to the Emperor of France, Napoleon III. It contains lithographs made after some thirty photographs, drawings, and maps.
