Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: A Persian Wheel, Used in Raising Water from the Nile
The image shows a black and white drawing of a large wooden waterwheel. The waterwheel is on the left side of the image. A long wooden beam extends from the wheel to a platform on the right side. A series of buckets are attached to a rope that descends from the wheel into the bottom of the image. A person is standing on the right side of the platform. A palm tree and some bushes are on the right side. The background shows a light-colored sky with some birds flying. The ground around the waterwheel appears to be hilly and there are some trees and bushes scattered around. The text at the bottom of the image reads "PERSIAN WATER-WHEEL, USED FOR IRRIGATION IN NUBIA."
