Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(Exodus, 1:8.)--'Now there arose up a new king
over Egypt which knew not Joseph.' We give a beautiful picture above illustrating a scene in Egypt just across the River Nile
at the turn of the road, as we pass from Cairo to the Pyramids. One meets here in the early morning market folk coming from
the country with donkeys laden with all kinds of vegetables; camels bearing fresh loads of clover, and expecting from the
sale of these to take back in the afternoon such necessaries from the stores as they need. This is a macadamized road lined
on either side by acacia trees. This picture was taken by our artist instantaneously, hence the people appear to be in motion.
This scene is about a mile out from Cairo and about eight miles from the Pyramids, though the Pyramids were in sight even
at this point." "Franklin Co Eng-Chi" is printed at the bottom of the photograph. See 5313BAI/LVii39CAJS (Voyager # 361009)
