I need help ............ please !!

I'm dubious about Chris as it seems to be a very modern name form.

Is it possibly Amos?

I found someone on a census once that was transcribed as Chris on Ancestry but on checking it was Chas.  (for Charles).

First sight says the surname is Allife...no idea of the first name though...

Just a possibility
Was he giving thsi picture to his sweetheart, and it actually reads 'Miss .....'

I see Uinis A Alipe or Alife

I thought this at first, but going back and looking at the whole thing, I think the name at the top was put on by the receiver or someone else as the writing and pen is slightly different, and the 'As I appeared........' bit was the only original writing, as the subject and the person it was sent to, knew who he was, so no name was needed.

Hope you follow my drift!

Just another thought - is the mark between CAIRO and PORTRAIT part of the printed card or a dot after an initial. I have screwed up my eyes at it, but can not make out the exact colour!!

The first bit is exactly how my husband writes his name - Chris - uncanny! 

The rest is really difficult!  Would love to know what it says, though.

If the A is initial for the middle name, could the surname be Alblie with the second A printed?  There is a crossbar in that letter.
