[Original German] Der Grosse Verbrennungs Platz in Benares [end]
One of the earliest artist-signed postcards of India. Hoffmann was an Austrian painter who had visited in 1893-94, and worked with one of the lithographic presses that had sprung up in Vienna to publish this postcard in a series of 12 "world tour" cards. It was advertised in an early Vienna postcard journal in July 1898.
