October 9, 1950.Jérusalem, croix en argent ciselé, donnée par Louis XIII à l'Eglise du Saint Sépulcre 1854 Auguste Salzmann French Salzmann revered this processional cross of engraved silver, which the king of France, Louis XIII, gifted to the church treasury in 1625. Placed against a velvety backdrop with a royal seal at top right, the cross is framed by contrasting stripes. Salzmann was eager for viewers to grasp the crosss detailed workmanship: "The photographic reproduction of this remarkable piece of metalwork, though it was executed in unfavorable light conditions.. is, however, better than the most minute description." As a capstone to the Holy Sepulchre series, the photograph conveys a sense that the site is rich with a history of French piety..
