Légende

Noonday Shelter, 1857. Middle Eastern scene. 'Here we come upon a wild son of the desert, who, together with his camel, is luxuriating in the shade afforded by the hut and the palm-tree. Enveloped in his loose meshlah (cloak), he avails himself of the favourable opportunity offered for airing his dubiously-washed wearing apparel, which the good woman of the house has washed for him and hung out to dry on the roof of the house. This is the last village we encounter before arriving at Khan-Yonnes [Khan Yunis], the Syrian frontier...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
