Jews' Quarter and New Synagogue. Photographer: Cramb, John
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Urban Topographical Photography

The foreground is little else than a mass of rubbish. In the remoter part of the picture, the upper part of the Jews' Quarter appears. The little domes on the house-tops form one of the characteristics of the modern city ... Within the last two or three years ... they have built a new and much finer synagogue than any which they previously possessed. Its large and lofty dome, towering high above all the other buildings around it, forms a conspicuous object in the present view...'
