Errebek, Thebes. Photographer: Frith, Francis
- Scope & Content:
-
Inscription: Signed 'Frith' in the negative.
View of the village: 'The circular inclosures, made of mud and broken jars, are the rooms or huts open to the sky in which the labourers sleep. In the jars they keep water, butter, cheese, bread, and food of all sorts. This is the first village which the traveller enters when he arrives at Thebes, and lands on the western bank...This village is situated among the ruins of the approaches to the temple, and now almost deserted, because of its proximity to the river; the inhabitants being more exposed to sudden incursions made on them by the governor of the province for taxes or unrequired labour in the canals at the season of the inundation. Further inland there is a greater security of person and property, for the intricacies of the tombs still serve as a refuge of the persecuted and the residence of the disaffected, as they did in the time of Athanasius.'
Stereoscopic pair.
