BEDOIN SHIEK "TOKEN A HOOKA" (c.1800s) picture caption:
A NIGHT IN A SHEIK'S TENT IN THE WILDERNESS

" The second man on the right is the Sheik. A European guest is unusual in this region east of the Dead Sea;and it was only through the courtesy of a man who had been made a blood-brother of the Bedouin tribe that the photographer was able to take this flashlight of a remarkable group. A Nubian slave at the left is pounding coffee, just roasted. Boilded in one of the long-spouted pots, it is thick and black, and is served in little white cups."
