This is an albumen print made from an original negative by Francis Bedford, mounted on card. It was probably taken on the 2nd April 1862 (and not 2nd March as on the print) during the Prince of Wales's Tour of the East. The picture shows the Early Roman tomb monument, known as ""Absalom's Tomb"", in the Kedron Valley in Jerusalem. In the foreground is a bridge for a road crossing over the Kedron Valley. Note that what seems to be the remains of an earlier arch can be seen at the base of the arch. Two men can be seen next to a cistern (?) opening, with another man behind. The Mount of Olives can be seen in the background. The tower sometimes associated with the photographer Graham can be seen on the far left; the correct tower can be seen further up the hill to the right. This picture is from Bedford's small photographic folder. It was listed as No. 65 on page 23 of Bedford's catalogue (see P 1761 for further details). ""JERUSALEM. Mar. 2/62"" in the lower left-hand corner. ""65 - FBedford"" in the lower right-hand corner. A reduced print was reproduced in M.Mott, The Stones of Palestine (London, 1865), page 64.
