Also included are b&w photographic plates and color plates depicting sights, buildings, scenes and people in Jerusalem, as well as many fold-out figures, maps and charts. The book also includes a b&w photographic frontispiece of Jerusalem and a separate folding map of the Old City. 305x250mm. XI+123 pages. Light green cloth Hardcover.
