Frank M. Good’s stereoview, captioned “A Jerusalem Jew,” is numbered 36 in Good’s Eastern Series and credited “Photographed and Published by FRANK M. GOOD, London.” The paired portraits show a long-bearded man wearing a dark coat and a broad fur-trimmed hat with a soft crown, posed against a plain background. The warm-toned photographs are mounted on yellow card, with the title repeated by hand along the margin and a printed label bearing the series’ circular emblem. Scattered spotting is visible on the label, with rubbing and small losses at the mount’s edges.
