Title:

Margaret, Ruth, and Gertrude Sawyer sightseeing in Jerusalem

Creator:

Sawyer, Wilbur A.

Date:

13 May 1924

Description:

The Sawyer family left Australia in January 1924, returning to New York via Ceylon, India, Egypt, and Europe. Dr. Sawyer, as the Rockefeller Foundation's assistant regional director for the East, spent the first part of the journey visiting RF hookworm control sites (and potential sites) in Ceylon and India, but combined this with sightseeing. Dr. Carley, a Rockefeller Foundation colleague, showed the Sawyers around various Holy Land sites for a week before they moved on to Cairo. The caption on the back of the photograph reads, "On Christian Street, Jerusalem. Margaret, Ruth, and Gertrude, May 13, 1924."
