The dismal impressions of the nineteenth century tourists - portraying scenes of bleakness and dilapidation, in which the first Jewish pioneers set up the corner stone to the Zionist enterprise - are a telling foil for the fabulous restoration of the Land by the magic touch of contemporary Return to Zion.
