1 photograph : b&w ; 25.4 x 18.1 cm ( 10 x 7.125 in).

Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(Romans, xi :26.)--Reference is made in the 29th verse of the 11th chapter of Romans to Jacob. We give the above illustration of a threshing scene at Heliopolis, because it was in this region that Jacob lived during the time he spent with his son Joseph in Egypt. At Heliopolis was situated the greatest university of ancient times. Here Moses was educated and Joseph married the daughter of Potiphera, the controlling priest in the temple of the sun at Heliopolis. It was in this neighborhood that Jacob and Joseph met when the ancient patriarch came down from Canaan with his household. It was here also that Joseph and Mary came to shun the fury of Herod during their sojourn in Egypt." Copyright year and photographer's name are printed at the bottom of the photograph, along with "Franklin Co Eng-Chi." See 5112BAI/LVi30CAJS (Voyager # 357269)
