Légende

The Desert Route - Hebron, 1857. Middle Eastern scene. 'The cry to mid-day prayers resounds from the lofty minaret as the travellers draw nigh. There are a parcel of blind beggars collected at the main entrance; and a powerful-looking goatherd, with his long- barrelled duck-gun supported on his shoulders, is trudging home to bis midday repast, driving a few meagre goats before him'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
