Show moreThe album is an account of the 1861 visit to Jerusalem undertaken by the François-Edmond Pâris, Rear-admiral of the French Navy in command of the third French Squadron of the Mediterranean. In the historical notes introducing the plates, the author provides references and impressions. François-Edmond Pâris joined the French Navy in 1820 and took part in three great expeditions: the first under d’Urville abord the Astrolabe (1826-9), and two under Laplace on the Favorite (1829-32) and the Artémise (1837-40). In 1858 he was named rear-admiral and was given the command of the third French Squadron of the Mediterranean. Before publishing “Souvenirs de Jerusalem,” Pâris had already published two important folios on naval and marine architecture.
