"Jerusalem. G[ran]de Mosquee Prise De La Porte Sud" is a daguerreotype created by the French photographer and draughtsman Joseph Philibert Girault de Prangey in 1844. As one of the earliest photographers to travel to the Eastern Mediterranean, Girault de Prangey was a pioneer in the use of the daguerreotype process outside of Europe. His work is significant for being among the first photographic records of the architectural heritage of regions such as Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Syria, and Palestine, including the city of Jerusalem.

This particular daguerreotype captures a view of the southern entrance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of the most revered sites in Islam, located on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem. The image is part of a larger body of work that documents Islamic architecture and provides invaluable visual information about the state of these monuments in the mid-19th century.

Girault de Prangey's meticulous approach to photography involved extensive travel and preparation, as the daguerreotype process required a portable darkroom and immediate development of the image. His images are characterized by their clarity, composition, and attention to architectural detail. The "Jerusalem. G[ran]de Mosquee Prise De La Porte Sud" is not only an important historical record but also a work of art that reflects the early stages of photography as a medium and its capacity to document and preserve the world's cultural heritage.

The significance of Girault de Prangey's work has been recognized in the art world, with his photographs being held in various collections and exhibited in museums internationally. The daguerreotypes by Girault de Prangey, including "Jerusalem. G[ran]de Mosquee Prise De La Porte Sud," are celebrated for their historical value and as milestones in the history of photography.
