| Description: | Slide 52: one of the latern slides shown at Clondalkin branch library c 1910 which had a printed description of the black and white slides. Below is description given in booklet that came with the slides: 52 – Jerusalem from Mount Scopus From Jerusalem northwards as far as Bethel, a distance of 10 or 12 miles, we pass through the territory of Benjamin. Almost every hill-side has been a scene of battle; almost every mound of ruins marks the site of some village, memorable for the heroic deeds there enacted. For some miles along the road Jerusalem is visible, and from Mount Scopus we get our last view of the Holy City. From no other point do we get such a good view of its being a walled town. Indeed, its fortified appearance gives it the appearance of a relic of the Middle Ages. |
