Then And Now: I Merged 150 Year Old Pics Of Israel With My Recent Photos

ADVERTISEMENT

The idea to create then and now photos emerged when I heard that New York Public Library has added many old photo scans to the public domain.

Probably most photos there are from the US, but I decided to check if there are any from Israel as well. And since people from Europe and the US visited this region and took photos, I was able to find them in the New York Library’s Public Domain.

I will show an old photo (most of them were made 100-150 years ago), my recent photo and a combination of both.

Blood libel Blood libel (also blood accusation)[1][2] is an accusation[3][4][5] that Jews kidnapped and murdered the children of Christians to use their blood as part of their religious rituals during Jewish holidays.[1][2][6] Historically, these claims—alongside those of well poisoning and host desecration—have been a major theme in European persecution of Jews.[4] Blood libels typically say that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos for Passover, although this element was allegedly absent in the earliest cases that claimed (the contemporary) Jews reenacted the crucifixion. The accusations often assert that the blood of children of Christians is especially coveted, and, historically, blood libel claims have been made to account for otherwise unexplained deaths of children. In some cases, the alleged victim of human sacrifice has become venerated as a martyr, a holy figure around whom a martyr cult might arise. Three of these — William of Norwich, Little Saint Hugh.....
