Knox & Co.Printed in Germany Type: Divided BackCondition: see imagesAge: Circa 1900 Note that I usually provide scanned and photographed images. The scan will have the sharpest image of the card but may show lines from the scanner and does not accurately show the corners. The lines are usually from dust on the hand fed scanner. The photo and will show better details of the edges and corners. When I provide scans of the back of the card to provide better images of the text that may be out of focus in my photos, please note that the scanner often leaves a darkened edge that is not actually on the card, but I assume is from uneven light. pc1
