Entertainment in an Egyptian harem: women dancing, playing music on pipes and drums, while a man in a turban smokes a long tobacco pipe and is offered a drink by a woman. Servants bring wine and food. Handcoloured lithograph from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's "Vollstaendige Völkergallerie in getreuen Abbildungen" (Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures), Meissen, circa 1835-1840. Goedsche (1785-1863) was a German writer, bookseller and publisher in Meissen. Many of the illustrations were adapted from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" and others.
