Drawn from the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Getty Research Institute, In Search of Biblical Lands features daguerreotypes, salted-paper prints, and albumen silver prints created between the 1840s and the early 1900s by leading photographers of the time, including Félix Bonfils, Felice Beato, Maxime Du Camp, Auguste Salzmann, James Graham, Louis Vignes, Frank Mason Good, and Frédéric Goupil-Fesquet.
