Divided back
Maharajah's Wind Palace, Jaipur
Built in 1799 with nearly a thousand tiny lattice-screened windows from which ladies of the court could observe street scenes, it is one of the city's top destinations for visitors today who can momentarily partake of what must have been exquisite
Clifton Karachi
Although this is a different view and title, the crowds suggest it was made during the Maha Shivratri Hindu Festival shown in another postcard.

The Inland Steamer "Serang"
Bengal's rivers were traversed by boats and steamers, on which this man served a captain. The firm he worked for, "I.G.S.N." is likely emblazoned on his shirt.
Downed English Fighter Plane
A British fighter plane, called "Rawalpindi" and named after the 29th Punjab regiment, brought down in apparently excellent condition by German forces during World War I.

Born and Died May, 1900
A baby born with two heads and who likely would still have been a novelty and discussed some years later in Karachi, east of the Makran coast.
