Lively scene of an Arab restaurant in Cairo, with palm trees, customers, and a woman carrying a basket. Printed text on the back: 'Arab Restaurant, Cairo. Here, under the feathery date-palms and duna-palms, native Cairo comes to drink coffee and sherbet, to eat seethed kid and cloying sweet-meats. The Fellah woman in the background is carrying a basket full of greenstuff, probably beans, a staple food in ancient and modern Egypt.' Recipient: Madame L. Cilier, Vigne-aux-Bois (France).
