AN ARAB BLACKSMITH 



Except for his multi-colored turban, this strong-visaged native of Sfax, Southern Tunisia, 

 looks as if he might have posed for one of Rembrandt's immortal masterpieces. From father 

 to son the blacksmith's occupation is handed down, each leaving to his successor the heritage 

 of a reputation for skilful workmanship, even though his implements be primitive and his 

 wage meager.
