Monks standing with assembled orphans before a statue of Saint Francis of Assisi, Egypt, ca.1920-1940

"XI. - Cairo - Orfani della Scuola Arti a Mestieri di S. Giuseppe ai piedi del Monumento a S. Francesco". Two Franciscan monks flank three rows of orphan boys assembled for the portrait. Behind them stands a large statue of St. Francis of Assisi on a pedestal bearing a plaque. Behind the statue, the wall of a building can be seen. The back of the postcard has no handwriting. Printed in the margin is "Unione Missionaria Francescana Via Merulana, 124 - ROMA (124)" "Rotocalcografia Civicchioni-Chiavari".
