Photographs of Eretz Israel - Glass Transparencies

25 glass transparencies, photos of Eretz Israel (b/w). Unknown photographer, [late 19th or early 20th cent.].
Photos of views and people of various sites in Eretz Israel: market in Jaffa, Western Wall, Dead Sea, Jericho, Nazareth etc. Handwritten annotations on the paper frame surrounding the glass plate. It seems that the photos are private and were taken by a couple or a group of travelers; one photo is annotated: Sheik of Abu Dis, Our Guide in Wilderness. Contained in a designated wooden case, original.
Transparencies: 8X10 cm. Good condition. Tears to some of the paper frames. Marks of a sticker and scratches on the case.
