This is an original 1859 black and white wood engraving that depicts a tumultuous scene that occurred on a journey through Lebanon. Nicolo, charged with carrying some of the party's necessities, appears to have accidentally upended himself in a deceivingly deep pool of water. His superior, absolutely livid at the loss of their perishables, decides to take out his rage on himself in the most efficient way possible--stricking his own head with a large stone.
