Coffee grinding, 1905

1905 stereoscope of daily life in the Middle East. Original caption reads 'The native mode of grinding coffee, Palestine.'

High quality images for non-Western subjects of this age are uncommon. This one strikes me as an interesting piece of social history. Unretouched version Image:Coffeepalestine.jpg is used at history of coffee. Created by Keystone View Company (photographer unknown) - scratches and artifacts removed, histogram adjusted by Durova.

• Nice, not a thrilling shot by any means, but you're right, there's enough in the activity and the context to carry it. Interesting also that I've seen this exact same activity in North Africa just a few years ago, so there might (say) be a modern context there too. I'd say it was worth a punt at FPC, anyway. --mikaul^talk 23:14, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
