THE MEN GOING HUNTING

In Ida Uhse's diary we read the following:
“13th of Jan. At 9am, County Governor Cedercrantz arrived. The weather was wonderful, we took a walk through the city of Luxor, visited the best two hotels and then returned for lunch. At 3pm, we return to the temple ruins in Karnak and to the temples of Khonsu and Amon. In the morning, the men had been hunting birds, but did not have any luck. Tomorrow, Cedercrantz and de Marés will leave us and travel to Aswan.”

Considering the picture, the men must have had more luck during another hunting trip.
