Flower Street

If you’ve a good eye, you’ll think this is the same as card #20308127, and you would be right except for two things: the caption is written differently, and it has a different publisher. The other one is from M. Sternberg, and this one is from Turco-Egyptian Tobacco, the two companies that had a near-monopoly on Hong Kong’s postcards of the day. This card has an abrasion on the front, and is somewhat stained, but the picture is intact–and beautiful. Grade: 4
