Do you see similarities or difference between modern photography of Jerusalem and what is discussed in your article? Why do you think this might be?
It was very interesting to learn how many of the early photographs were improperly identified (ex: James Graham's 1854 Dome of the Rock and the early 1900's picture identified as 'Tower of Antonia' instead of a minaret of the Aqsa mosque). Do you think these were accidentally or intentionally mislabeled/misrepresented? Why (or why not)?
You mention that Russia self-appointed itself as protector of the Christian-Orthodox community, France as protector of the Latin Church, and Britain as protector of the Jewish community. What happened to the US? Did they not also get involved in this concept? Why/why not, do you think?
