Stereoviews of Palestine (The Holy
Land) proved wildly popular from the 1850s views of Francis Frith and others,
right up to the 1930s views by Keystone. Our pages of Palestine views are
sorted into publishers. We start with the views of companies whose views
were published in the 1890s by Underwood and who were subsequently taken
over by them - notably Jarvis, Bierstadt and Strohmeyer. These date from
the 1890s. There are THREE
pages of Palestine views - links to the following pages at the bottom.

The next
large section comprises Underwood views after they had taken over most
of the opposition. Many are from 1890s negs of the firms they had bought
out. They did, however, undertake a comprehensive re-photographing operation
in the first years of the 1900s - and some views date from then.
