Mr. Paul’s photographer has returned from a tour in Egypt with a series of 12 interesting and characteristic pictures taken in that country. In addition to local views, these include the annual procession of the Holy Carpet leaving Cairo for Mecca; a caravan of camels arriving at the Pyramids; Arab women fetching water from the Nile, and several pictures representing native industries and amusements, including:—Arab knife-grinders, cigarette-makers, fishermen, sawyers, and a native bullock-pump in work. The series of pictures will probably be produced for the first time next week the Oxford Music Hall.
