Description: Three well-armed men and two children. The title in ink on the recto of the mount reads: "Escorts in Fisodli (sp.?) Country, South Africa". A very rare image. I have never seen it before. A picture of a Lake in the Teberda is on the verso (an ok, but a bit boring image of snow capped peaks in the distance and a lake in the foreground). Shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania and New York buyers must pay appropriate sales tax. International clients are responsible for their VAT and other custom's oriented charges.
