This is a stereoscopic photograph, meaning it presents two slightly different views of the same scene to create a 3D effect when viewed with a stereoscope. The image depicts a group of women sorting raisins in Ramallah, Palestine. The women are seated in a semi-circle on the ground, surrounded by baskets and piles of raisins. They are dressed in traditional clothing, including long dresses and headscarves. Some of the women have their faces partially covered. In the background, there is a stone wall and a building with arched windows. The landscape appears to be arid and hilly. The overall tone of the image is sepia-toned, which is typical of photographs from this era. The text on the left side of the image reads: “Sold only by Griffith & Griffith Phila. Chicago. London. Hamburg. St. Petersburg Russia.” The text on the right side reads: “Geo. W. Griffith, Publisher, Philadelphia, Pa.” Below the images, the caption reads: “12084. Women Sorting Raisins, Ramallah, Palestine.”
