This is a black and white photograph taken in Eilat in 1952 of a group of children receiving drinks in paper cups from a woman at a wooden stand. The sign on the stand says: “Agricultural Market.” The woman is leaning over to hand a cup to a child. Despite the fact that the photograph was taken in December, the people are wearing light clothing appropriate to the warm desert climate of Eilat.
The stand is situated in front of a wooden building with the sign, “Hamashbir Lazarchan, Eilat Branch.” Hamashbir is a large Israeli department store, but the Eilat branch appears to be quite small. A man and woman are standing outside the shop, watching the children. In the background stands another wooden building with a sign of the Tnuva food distribution company. The area around the shop is bare and the Red Sea and the Eilat mountains can be seen in the background.
The photograph was taken in the early years of Eilat when it was a small, isolated Israeli outpost, very different from the luxurious resort town that it is today.
