Summary[edit]

Description
English: Among the earliest postcards of Varanasi, this court-sized card was made from an albumen photograph (its title is still inscribed in the negative) and framed by a floral design. Because ink costs were still high, and the sender could only put their message on the front, a good deal of white space remains.
