This is an original 1918 black and white halftone print of two views of the Saint Sergius and Bacchus Church, or the Abu Serga, in Cairo Egypt. The first shows the exterior screen division while the second is the middle screen with a view of the pulpit. It is said that this is where Mary and the baby Jesus took refuge while fleeing to Egypt.
