Important Notes:

1. Abdessalam el-Nabulsi died in 1968 according to this publication: (دنيا الوطن) So his photo was certainly taken before that date as part of a promotional kit distributed free to the media.
2. This photo was taken in a scene in a movie shot around the year mentioned, entitled "لحن حبي" and first published in Egypt in the Egyptian Daily News Papers, around the same period.
3. I do not know the name of the photographer of the photo, but this photo belongs to the Egyptian Government, because all companies in Egypt became public in 1961, when the late President Jamal Abdel Nasser implemented a socialist system. So the film and every thing related to it became government property. As a matter of fact this was the case with all films that were produced before this date. According to Al Ahram weekly published in Egypt, in an article that was written by Farid Samir and published in the issue of the week 23-29, 2006.
4. This is an Arabic article issued by an Egyptian Government agency that confirms Point 3. الهيئة العامة للاستعلامات archive copy at the Wayback Machine
