Description
On verso:
No. 211. DAVID STREET, INSIDE OF JAFFA GATE, JERUSALEM, PALESTINE.
Modern Jerusalem is divided into four quarters, the Christian or Northwestern, the Armenian or Southwestern, the Jewish or Southeastern, and the Moslem or Northeastern quarter. The walls of the modern city enclose about 210 acres of land, the larger part of which is thickly crowded with houses of stone with flat stone roofs. The streets are narrow lanes, arched over in many places. David Street, the dividing line between the two northern and the two southern quarters, runs nearly straight east and west from Jaffa gate, seen in the picture, to the inner wall surrounding the Haram enclosure. Close to the Jaffa gate rises the square Tower of David within the citadel.
Jerusalem is the capital of Southern Palestine and the seat of a mutasarrif under the vali of Syria. The town council consists of eight members, four Moslem, three Christian, and one Jewish. The population of about 25,000 souls consists of 12,000 Jews, 6,000 Moslems and 7,000 Christians.
