What a treasure trove. Aside
Marvelous interior views, and the bottom right is an unusual view of Lower Peak Tram Terminus. Does the postcard show when it was mailed ?
Ebay
Is it sold in the ebay recently?
Mount Austin Hotel
It is a typical cabinet card (16,2 x 10,7 cm), albumin print (very thin photograph) mounted on a card; black reverse; no publisher or photographer given. I think it was given as a gift to the last guests at the hotel before it was closed down - "In Memoriam". (Must have been a posh place to stay. Too remote? Too expensive?)
Too big, and losing money.
