Supporting material glass lantern slide from Nubia Sudan dated AD 1900s

Lantern Slide with black and white photograph showing some vegetation. Possible location – Delta? A corn field is half-covering a group of date palms which obscure most of a group of ‘modern’ mudbrick living architecture. In the foreground there is some random vegetation and there also appears to be a field boundary / irrigation ditch.
Original paper label is missing, but has been in place, as traces of glue remain
