| Notes: |
Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(Judges, vii: 12.)--'And the Midianites, and the
Amalekites, and all the children of the East, lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were
without number, as the sand by the seaside for multitude.' We give here a picture of mat weavers at their looms simply to
illustrate the character of the people that represent in modern times the ancient inhabitants of this land. This primitive
loom we found near the waters of Merom just above where the Marsh of Huleh begins. It is in a Bedouin village, and the occupation
of the natives is mat weaving. The rushes from which they make these mats grow on the banks of the Jordan. This is doubtless
a characteristic picture applicable to this region in all its history. In this view we are looking toward the East, and the
hour is about twelve o'clock noon." "Franklin Co Eng-Chi" is printed at the bottom of the photograph
