There are 14 images in this carefully constructed postcard of a cantonment town in Central India now known as Dr. Ambedkar Nagar (after the first great leader of India's Dalit community). The publisher, K. Hormusjee describes itself as "Wholesale and Pictorial Postcard-Seller, Dealer in Indian Brass Curios, Stone and Sandalwood Xylographies, Silk Shawls and Fancy Articles." (Xylography is the ancient art of engraving on wood and printing from wooden blocks.)

On the back is handwritten "To Nettie with best love. AY."
