This is an original 1901 halftone print of a soldier upon a dromedary. A dromedary is a type of camel valued for its variety of uses. It is a valued mode of transportation and its ability to go for long periods without water adds to its value in the Egyptian climate. It also is capable of carrying very heavy loads. It provides meat, wool, and milk. It can be used for plowing, and its dung is not only good as fertilizer, but also for fuel for campfires.
