Group. Collection of three full-length seated portraits of local people from Jeddah, including a group portrait of the Sheikh - leader - of the “boatpeople” and his fellow guild members - probably people working or menaging the port of Jeddah, the main port of arrival for pilgrims -, a sweet seller holding a tray with stalks, and a man described as a “crier and broker” with his mouth open as if in the act of calling out. The photographs were probably taken by Snouck Hurgronje in Jedda between 1884 and 1885. Photographs were taken in a courtyard-like space with foliage and pots visible in the background.
