Let's take a closer look at the photos with annotations. "American colony, Jerusalem" https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-63S7WQRnp8k/XqHIqQjNkZI/AAAAAAAAWbA/jbAqU9Yk4IAw8Iiar1KkzLq--aRCiDdXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/old_photos_Bedouin%2B%25286%2529.jpg https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-63S7WQRnp8k/XqHIqQjNkZI/AAAAAAAAW... The "American colony, Jerusalem" only existed from 1881-late 1940s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Colony,_Jerusalem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Colony,_Jerusalem 60.

From the side of the picture, it looks like it's on film. Was it possible to have a film camera in 1889? Yes, barely. "The use of photographic film was pioneered by George Eastman, who started manufacturing paper film in 1885 before switching to celluloid in 1889. His first camera, which he called the "Kodak," was first offered for sale in 1888." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_camera#Early_photographic_camera_(18th%E2%80%9319th_centuries) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_camera#Early_ph... 109.

The number 109 (sweethearts) is much higher than 60 (mother and child). That implies that there were many more worse photos that were not selected for uploading. Far more recently, in 1937, my grandpa went on a cycling trip through Germany, Austria, and Italy, then back to the UK. My mum made a photo website about it, including links to some hotels that are still operating. http://drmarionb.free.fr/1937CyclingTour/ http://drmarionb.free.fr/1937CyclingTour/ He had been inspired by another book, Blue Skies and Good Companions. There's an archive of that available: https://wdc.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/cycling/id/1733/rec/64 https://wdc.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/cycling/id... My mum then wrote an article about it for the CTC cycling magazine in the UK, and it was published in the Feb/Mar 2021 issue, page 47-49.
