A very early coloured postcard of what is now the official residence of the Governor of Sindh, across of Frere Hall in the center of the city. Nusserwanjee & Co.
1900-1909
Panwala (Betel Nut Dealer)
A rather impressive portrait, from a slightly low angle, giving the boy a certain grandeur. Unfortunately, a most rarely postcarded occupation.

Part of a series showing postmen around the world. This was postmarked in Spalding, Britain,May 6, 1905 and addressed to Mr. G. Riseley, 41 Norfolk Street, King,s Lynn: "Parcel arrived safely. Vest too large, others a fit. Jack."
South Mall and Lake Naini-Tal

The Marina, Madras
The 6.0 km long stretch is the second largest urban beach in the world (after Cox's Bazaar in Bangladesh), shown here with part of the Senate House, the administrative heart of the University of Madras, built in the late 1870s.
Merchants Lane, Ambala.
A most unusual postcard when one realizes that the sign is for the publisher, Harnam Dass and it is likely that part of the firm and its owner (in the all green kurta just right-of-center?) are among the people proudly posing in the bazaar.
Recollections of Darjeeling
Note how every frame is labelled and the entire ensemble unusually titled "Recollections," which was only occasionally used on multi-view postcards, with "Greetings" the standard term.
