Magic Lantern Slide: Four men sitting in street
This slide by Alfred Oliver Rowden shows four men sitting on the street around a table. Rowden appears to have been interested in recording the different types of clothing he saw during his time in Mesopotamia. He was there during the First World War and was not sent home until 1919 or 1920.
