- 1890
1890. Original nineteenth century photochrome print. 10.5" by 8." Mounted on split card. Photograph shows six women and two small children on the back of a cart traveling on dirt street, guided by a barefoot boy with a white donkey. All the women wear hijabs and have powerful expressions on their faces. Behind the cart is a classic Arab door frame with Arabic or Egyptian motifs. The bottom of the photo reads in gold lettering "2187. P.Z. - Kairo. Charrette Transportant des Femmes Arabes." Overall a very attractive and sharp image. In very good condition overall with some minor imperfections.
