The idea to create then and now photos emerged when I heard that New York Public Library has added many old photo scans to the public domain.

Probably most photos there are from the US, but I decided to check if there are any from Israel as well. And since people from Europe and the US visited this region and took photos, I was able to find them in the New York Library’s Public Domain.

I will show an old photo (most of them were made 100-150 years ago), my recent photo and a combination of both.
