Magic Lantern Slide: Group of traders in street (slide)
Descriptions
This photograph by Alfred Oliver Rowden shows a street scene. The three pieces of equipment against the wall appear to be a portable peepshow, and two knife-grinding wheels. A sign on the wall refers to 'Marjan[?] Mosque'. Rowden was in Mesopotamia during the First World War and was not sent home until 1919 or 1920. He photographed daily scenes like this to record his experiences.
