How this transcription was made

Transcribed from the slide scan by a reader working off magnified crops, not by optical character recognition. The newspaper is printed on the clipping in the credit line “Special to The New York Times.” above the dateline. The day and month come from the printed dateline, “MIDDLEBORO, Mass., Aug. 11”; the YEAR comes from the hand-typed slide label and is not confirmed by anything on the page. The item is a society engagement announcement, not a news report, and it is held in this archive because of the bridegroom: Ibrahim Ibrahim, an artist, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hanna Ibrahim of Reiny, Nazareth. The page itself does not state his nationality or ethnicity; see the record’s queries for what it does and does not establish.
