Bullets being produced in Cairo, 19th century. Bashi-bazouks, mercenary soldiers in the army of the Turkish sultan, were known for their lawlessness and brutality, but they are depicted here at leisure, rather than engaged in battle. Painting by French artist Jean-Leon Gerome, dating from around 1884 or earlier.
