| Reverse description | Panoramic bird's-eye view of the hermitage and surroundings at Beni Abbès, Algeria, rendered in detailed relief. The composition shows a small chapel or fort structure at centre, surrounded by crosses, palm trees to the left, and layered desert terrain receding toward distant hills. A compass indicator with arrows marked N and S appears in the upper field, with the directional label SUD above an upward arrow. The initials A.M. and the attribution D'APRES C DE F appear in the lower left field, indicating the design is based on a drawing by Charles de Foucauld himself. The place name BENI-ABBÈS is inscribed along the lower rim. |
