A unique postcard, I know of no other example. A January 26, 1905 front page of the Rangoon Gazette newspaper - itself a source of much interesting information - is fractured with an embossed image of a key landmark in what was then a British possession, the Queen's Golden Kyoung in Mandalay. Exceptional design sense is displayed here by what was both a Bookseller at the time in Rangoon and photographer.
