Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Collotype, undivided back, 13.80 x 8.90 cm.
This card, sent by a Mr. Seamus on Dec. 1, 1905 from Kolkata, has a stamp positioned in the top that extends the tilt of the woman's head. While it is hard to guess the sender's intent, and the stamp is folded over on the other side so as to elicit the cancellation on that side perhaps, positioning a red stamp at this angle could mean "I am true to you." If one wanted to account for the fact that Kind Edward VIIths head is upside down, it could also mean "Have you forgotten me?" |
