Caption

Street scene at Gibraltar, 1876. Engraving from a sketch by '...a valued correspondent and amateur artist, Major W. O. Carlile, R.A...The drapery figures of Spanish women, and of Jews and Jewesses, may be here compared with those of the Moorish people. Gibraltar has many such picturesque contrasts and oddities of juxtaposition at the very gate of the Mediterranean, between our British seafaring or soldiering visitors and the nations of Southern Europe or Northern Africa'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
