Zion Gate by J.D. Woodward - Jerusalem, Israel - Paintings Then and Now on Waymarking.com

Picturesque Palestine, Sinai, and Egypt was a lavishly illustrated set of books published by D. Appleton & Co. in the early 1880s based on their phenomenally successful Picturesque America and Picturesque Europe series. It was edited by Charles William Wilson, following his leadership of the seminal Ordnance Survey of Palestine and PEF Survey of Palestine.

Unlike the earlier Picturesque series, Picturesque Palestine did not employ numerous artists on the project but only used two of the more successful artists from the earlier books, Harry Fenn and J.D. Woodward. Their sketches were compiled on site during Woodward and Fenn's two joint tours of Egypt and the Levant in the winters of 1877–78 and 1878–79.

John Douglas Woodward (July 12, 1846 - June 5, 1924), was an American landscape artist and illustrator. He was one of the country's "best-known painters and illustrators". He produced hundreds of scenes of the United States, Northern Europe, the Holy Land, and Egypt, many of which were reproduced in popular magazines of the day.Source: (visit link)

At first glance, it is clear that the gate has suffered considerable damage in appearance in about 140 years.
