The title names Tripoli and describes the subject as Arab rebel dead, a grim scene that the record does not date. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs in the early twentieth century, often covered wars and colonial conflicts, and Tripoli was a flashpoint during the Italo-Turkish War of 1911 to 1912, when Italian forces seized the Ottoman province of Tripolitania and Arab and Libyan fighters resisted. The caption is taken from unverified information written on the negative or its card, so the specific battle, location and date remain uncertain. The picture is best read as a record of how the fighting was presented to American readers at the time.
