Young girls holding plates is an unusually domestic subject for a Jerusalem view, which suggests the picture was made to show local life rather than the city's famous sites. Photographs and prints of this kind circulated widely in the 19th century, when travelers and pilgrims bought images of the Holy Land as souvenirs. The word "peasant" in the title reflects how European and American observers often described Palestinian residents, so the picture is worth viewing as much for what its makers expected to see as for the everyday scene itself.
