Notlar	Genre/Subject MatterThis photograph was taken from an elevated view northeast of the Masjid al-Khayf in Mina, seven kilometres east of the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. Mina is a station of the hadj, where pilgrims camp out on the 8th, 11th, 12th (and some on the 13th) of Dhul-Hijjah, as can be seen in this image.The regular, white-washed crenellated perimeter wall of the mosque is broken to the right of the taller minaret by an iwan-like entrance and a taller structure, which appears damaged. Several earthenware or wooden vessels placed adjacent to a wall in the centre foreground bear a resemblance to the Ibrīqsillustrated by Christian Snouck Hurgronje in his 1888 publication, Bilder-Atlas zu Mekka. As such, they may have a ceremonial function, or indeed be vessels for carrying water from the Zemzem well. Compare also the vessels in evidence in Photo 174/10.Amongst the many and varying tents pitched before the mosque in the middle-ground are a wide variety of beasts of burden, such as horses, camels and donkeys, some of which are carrying litters – often used to carry women on long journeys throughout the Arabian peninsula. Due to the relatively slow shutter speed required to capture this image, many of the figures are blurred, particularly within the open space before the mosque in the left of the image.InscriptionsRecto:Upper centre: ‘Picture of the Mosque of Khaif and Mina’‘The mosque of Khaif and Mina is the house of mercyThe eminent, blessed, and famous place of worship.The wise friend of God [i.e., Abraham] himself brought for sacrifice to this place, Isma'il’To the right and left of the image:‘Located at the foot of the mountain, it is a building of stone.
