Stereograph, Elderly blind man and a young child in Palestine

n.d.

Two black and white photos are mounted side-by-side on a peach-colored card, showing the same view of an elderly man who is blind holding one end of a large stick(?) and being led by a young boy holding the opposite end of the stick. They are standing outside with a stone wall behind them. They are dressed in Middle Eastern-style robes, and the man has a turban. "Boy leading blind man (Palestine)" is handwritten in pencil on the reverse. Stereographs were viewed through a stereoscope, providing a 3-D image. Small dark stain on card and edge of right photo, at bottom; bottom left corner of card is worn and missing small area of paper on reverse.
