A grain seller at a market in Jerusalem is the subject here, shown among the stalls of an open-air bazaar where sacks and baskets of produce were traded daily. The photograph belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified caption information, so the exact date and vendor are uncertain. Still, the scene offers a glimpse of everyday commerce in the city at a time when its markets drew both local residents and visitors.
