    I really like seeing modern views of places shown in old pictures. This looks much the same, just fresher.

    No change, only the people and the lamp post. It gives a sense of perenity, of longevity. Nice!

    The same buildings, same angle! Only the Levantine Trader would look out of place today in Livorno (but maybe not in Jerusalem). :)
