<i>‘(…) Bethlehem. The picture shows a man and a woman approaching Bethlehem with a donkey. It was taken on Christmas Day, 1898. The photograph presents a scene reminiscent of Mary and Joseph, as they approached Bethlehem some 1900 years earlier.’</i> (text from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.old-picture.com">www.old-picture.com</a>) <i>Note:</i> As the source shows a number of 1898 pictures ‘reminiscent’ of the biblical story in and around Bethlehem (featuring a couple, a donkey, sometimes a baby etc.) it seems likely that at least some of the pictures were staged.
