36 photographs from Palestine, mounted on paper leaves. Photographers: Walton Adams and Félix Bonfils. Palestine, [late 19th century].
Photographs from Nazareth and environs (including a photograph of the photographer's camp and group), Jerusalem and environs, most showing Palestinian Arabs and Bedouin.
