Description
Panoramic view of a bucolic river scene in Turkey used for recreation. Some people ride on pleasure boats, some with cloth roofs for shade, along a winding river in a valley. Some areas of the stream have rock walls between the water and the surrounding fields. In the fields, large groups of people visit under trees and around canopy-style tents. Rolling hills loom across the background of the photograph. A minaret is visible above a hill on the left side of the photograph. In the right lower quadrant of the photograph, a man walks across the field carrying a camera over his shoulder. A lane runs between the river and the hill in the foreground of the photograph. Printed in handwritten white ink along the bottom of the photograph, "N. 787. Eaux douces d'Europe, Şébah & Joaillier."
