Publication title reads, "Young boys, in attitudes ranging from mock-fighting to a British-style salute, pose before a house in Wadi Halfa, on the Sudan-Egypt border. The drawings and inscriptions on the wall behind them indicate that the owner of the house has made the sacred pilgrimage to Mecca." [Elisofon E., Van Der Post L., 1964: The Nile, The Viking Press].
