This is a stereoscope card from around 1900, showing a group of Christian mothers in Bethlehem, Palestine. The image is presented in a dual view, creating a 3D effect when viewed through a stereoscope. The group consists of approximately 15-20 women, all dressed in dark, long-sleeved dresses and distinctive headwear. The headwear consists of a white veil or scarf draped over their heads and shoulders, creating a unique and uniform appearance. They are seated in rows on a stone floor, likely inside a building or classroom. Each woman holds a book or bible in their hands, suggesting they are part of a bible class or religious education group. They are looking down at the books, seemingly engaged in reading or study. The background is a simple stone wall, providing a neutral backdrop for the group. The card is labeled with the title "Search the Scriptures" - a Bible Class of Christian Mothers in Bethlehem of Judea, Palestine. Copyright 1900 by Underwood & Underwood. The card also features the publisher's information on the sides: J.F. Jarvis, Fishkill, N.Y. and Underwood & Underwood, New York, London, Toronto, Canada, Russia.
