Ottoman soldiers, wearing fezzes stand in front. Several figures appear in small groups on the street in the foreground along with three donkeys and one horse. The plate was probably based on a photograph by the Egyptian army engineer Muhammad Sadiq Bey (1832 – 1902) in 1885. Title and date from item.
