Parte 1 - Bedouin Arabs, Bethlehem, Palestine

Two photographic prints showing Bedouin Arabs in Bethlehem, Palestine, in about 1930. The original captions for the prints are as follows: (top) ‘The Bedouin Arabs from all parts of Judea come into the market at Bethlehem to sell their flocks of goats and camels to local Christians. The market is held every Saturday but very few tourists find their way to this interesting spot in the ancient city’. (bottom) ‘Bethlehem – an unusual scene. The market place is a spot off the track for pilgrims and tourists’.
