Three bearded men in traditional dress stand at the center of this hand-colored photograph, with the added color giving their robes and headwear a painted warmth that a plain black-and-white print would lack. The record does not name the sitters or the exact place, but the Jerusalem setting places it within the late nineteenth and early twentieth century trade in photographs for pilgrims and travelers, when studios in the city often tinted prints by hand for sale as souvenirs. Viewers today may want to consider who was posed, how the costume was presented, and what kind of audience the image was made to please.
