This photograph of a temple (incorrectly labelled as the Temple of Bacchus) from the site of Palmyra is an example of the importance of the architectural photographs. Many of the structures pictured in A.D. White’s collection are no longer standing. Photographs are all that remain. The ancient Temple of Bel at Palmyra was destroyed by the terrorist organization known as the ‘Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’ on August 30, 2015.
