This is a stereoscopic photograph from 1906, titled "Native Method of Cooking on Clay Stoves, using Charcoal for Fuel, Palestine." It shows three women seated in front of a light-colored, textured wall with a small, barred window above them. Each woman is tending to a small, clay stove with a pot or container on top. They are also each holding a bowl. The women are dressed in long, dark dresses with decorative, patterned vests or aprons. They all wear head coverings that wrap around their heads and necks, obscuring most of their hair. The scene appears to be outdoors or in a covered area, as there is a rough, stone-like ground visible. The image is sepia-toned and has a slightly grainy texture, typical of photographs from that era. The text "Standard Scenic Company, Meadville, PA" is printed on the left and right sides of the image, and the copyright information is at the bottom.
