The card features a classic curved mount, characteristic of stereoviews designed for optimal viewing in a stereoscope.The reverse side of the stereoview provides a fascinating narrative accompanying the image, titled \"P 104—(7329) CHILDREN\'S FEAST, JERUSALEM.\" The text reads: \"These children do not have three hot meals a day as you do. Most of them have only one regular meal, and that is supper. If they are hungry at any other time in the day, they just take a handful of dates or figs, a bunch of grapes or a piece of bread. No one sets the table for them. They eat what they take as they go out to play or to work. For the evening meal the mother may cook rice and some vegetables to eat with their dry bread. If the people are not too poor, perhaps a piece of meat is cooked with the vegetables. No one ever sets the table in their house. When the meal is ready, the food is put in a great wooden bowl like the one in the picture. It is set in the middle of the floor. Flat cakes of bread are put round the bowl. The family wash their hands. They squat on their heels around the big bowl and begin their meal. If you will look at the girls who are eating rice, you will see what they use instead of forks. They take up any liquid in the bowl by soaking pieces of bread in it so they do not need spoons. You can see that there are not many dishes to wash after such a meal.
