munjid Upholsterer in Jerusalem 1870

This rare portrait from 1870, taken by the renowned French photographer Félix Bonfils, depicts a Palestinian upholsterer in traditional attire, likely photographed in Ottoman-era Jerusalem.
The image is part of Bonfils' extensive documentary project across the Levant.
Upholsterers were vital craftsmen, hand-making cushions and bedding in a time before industrial textiles.
The portrait is a window into the craft traditions and daily life in 19th-century Palestine.
