The photograph used in the postcard on the left (in the collection of the Victorian Turkish Bath Project) is credited to J Geiser of Algiers, and dates from the 19th century. But the same picture has sometimes been printed as a mirror-image, as in the photograph on the right, which is credited to Wilhelm Klee of Berlin. It is not known which was the original orientation.
