Building

When Nehemiah was building Jerusalem everyone assisted. The construction of an Arab village home is a labour for the community. Women, passing by in the evening to the well, set down the weighty water-pots and helped by carrying up the squared stone blocks to the men on the wall. An early photograph.

Cave

A baby laid in a rock manger. Primitive houses were still found in Bethlehem in the last century. They were built against the side of a hill with a stable. Mangers for donkeys and other domestic animals, driven indoors by bad weather, are scooped in a conveniently placed ledge of rock. An early photograph.
