A photograph entitled 'Mont Olivier' taken by James Robertson and Felice Beato in 1857.

The Mount of Olives in Jerusalem is an important biblical location.

Robertson and Beato began working together in 1853. Together they photographed in Constantinople (now Istanbul), Greece, Jerusalem, and Balaklava where they documented the Crimean War, continuing the work of Roger Fenton (1819-1869).
