PICTURE OP NOAH’S ARK
This was published as a large wall chromo in colours and ex­
tensively sold in Cairo. It represents Noah, with the Prophet's
veil, and his sons. The artist had difficulty in finding room
for all the animals even with the peacock perched on the
mast and the serpent with his head through the porthole.

PICTURE OP THE SACRIFICE OP ISHMAEL BY ABRAHAM
AND HIS RESCUE
Moslems believe that it was not Isaac who was to be otiered, and
that an angel brought the ram from the thicket. In com­
memoration of this event a great Moslem feast is held every
year, and sacrifices are made not only at Mecca but in
every part of the Moslem world.
