Before 1925


 This specific print was given by Mr E Broughton in Feb 1918 as part of a whole set of PEF photos. ""75"" in the lower right-hand corner of print, blacked out.

It was mentioned in Wilson's letter to the PEF dated Nablus March 17th, 1866 as one of ""Two views of town at Nazareth"" (PEF Proceedings and Notes 1865-69, page 35). In one of the versions of the Old Catalogue, it is referred to as ""75. Nazareth, Panorama No 1, from the north"". Anderson, Wilson's companion on the survey, wrote: ""There is something very striking in the position of Nazareth. It is completely shut in by hills, which cluster round it on all sides, and shelter it from the bleak winds. The town is built principally on the slope of the western hills; the houses, constructed of the white limestone of the neighbourhood, are of dazzling brightness in the sunlight."" (for further details on Nazareth in 1866, see S.Anderson, ""The Survey of Palestine"", page 454 in W.Morrison, ed., The Recovery of Jerusalem, 1871). This photograph is one of two photographs, OC 75-OC 76, forming a panoramic view of Nazareth and its vicinity (see P 381 for the other half of the panoramic view). The eastern edge of Nazareth and its khan can be seen on the far right of the photograph. The Greek church of the Annunciation surrounded by a stone fence and the Fountain of the Annunciation just beyond it, is visible in the lower right of the photograph. Irrigated fields in the valley of Nazareth are visible in the centre of the picture, as well as roads leading from Nazareth SE towards Jenin and E to Tabor and Tiberias.

Part 2: This is a glass negative made by Henry Phillips, RE, Photographer for Capt C Wilson between Feb 20th and March 17th 1866. It was mentioned in Wilson's letter to the PEF dated Nablus, March 17th 1866, as one of ""Two view of town at Nazareth"" (PEF Proceedings and Notes 1865-69, page 35). In one of the versions of the Old Catalogue (pre-1920), it is referred to as ""76. Nazareth, Panorama No 2, from the North. Nazareth is charmingly situated on the slope of a secluded basin in the Galilean hills. Removed, as it were, from the noise of the world, it seems admirably suited for the retirement which is so marked a feature in the early portion of our Saviour's life. On the left is the high hill, according to tradition the Mount of
Precipitation, to the right of this the Greek Church of the Annunciation, and the houses of Nazareth covering the hillside." This photograph is one of two, OC 75,OC76, forming a panoramic view of Nazareth and its vicinity (see P 378 for the other half). The town of Nazareth can be seen at the top left of the picture. The Maronite convent can be seen in the distance. The partly-terraced hill on the right is crowned by the wely of Neby Ismail (not visible). In the centre are the spoilheaps of a stone quarry and just below it the Moslem cemetery of Nazareth. Wilson's camp consisting of 2 tents (with 10 beasts of burden nearby) is visible next to the eastern stone fence of the Greek Church of the Annunciation. This item is a glass negative made by the wet-plate collodion process. Blacked out sky with bitumen and paper. ""Panorama"" is written with thin bitumen on the collodion sky, together with ""76"", which was rubbed out with bitumen. ""76"" in pencil on the paper backing. ""76"" in pencil on the collodion, crossed out with ""280"" in red ink. ""76"" in black ink on a label crossed out with ""280"" in red ink. ""76"" in reverse in black ink, near the left-hand corner of the plate. ""280"" in black ink near the lower right-hand corner, made by W Nassau in 1975.

Part 3: "This is a lantern-slide size glass copy negative made from Phillips' original image (for further details see P 381). Black paper margins. The sky has been blacked out. ""76"" is scratched into the upper edge of the plate. ""76.C"" in black ink on a label, crossed out by ""280"" in red ink.
