Russia's Ancient Enemy - Turks at Prayer. 1905.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Sphere, February 4th, 1905," showing a Drawing by H. Arnold of "Russia's Ancient Enemy - Turks at Prayer at a Bosnian Railway Station."

Every Mahomedan must pray five times within every twenty four hours : first about sunset, secondly at nightfall, thirdly at daybreak, fourthly about noon, and fifthly in the afternoon.  Such a scene as that shown in the Bosnian railway station depicted here seems very strange to Western eyes and helps us vividly to remember that the East is very near Europe after all.  Bosnia, which was Turkish until 1878, has made great progress since it came under the administration of Austria, of which it virtually forms a part.  It is the most beautiful of all the Balkan provinces.

Condition is Very Good.
