Postmarked May 24, 1919, some six months after World War I was over, though the card itself is probably dated earlier. Note the European man apparently smoking a pipe in the background.

These generic postcards, with a different city slapped on the top signboard and the message, were rare in British India, perhaps because of the most incongruous scene and in this case, forest setting.

Postcards of Pathans who inhabited the North West Frontier Province (NWFP, now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) bordering Afghanistan were often shown with their weapons, in poses that made them see dangerous.

A very early advertising postcard for a fine French champagne from a brand that persists today by a distributor with a monopoly in the Bombay Presidency. Moet & Chandon would ikely have offered these cards to its distributors.
