First World War Postcard of 'Attarine Street', Alexandria

A sepia-coloured artistic postcard depicting a busy street in the city. There are two or three storey brick buildings on either side of the street, many of a European style with awnings, balconies and shuttered windows. Featured in the image is a tall minaret that it is assumed is part of a mosque. There are several people walking on the street which has sidewalks either side of the roadway. These people wear both local robes or suits and differing headwear including a boater. There is a horse and cart walking on the street and another cart left in the road. Some of the buildings appear to be shops or cafes as table and chairs can be seen on the sidewalk as well as vendor signs above entrances. In the front of the image is a vendor sign hanging from a wooden pole that is advertising an Italian establishment. The postcard is in very good condition with no damage. The top edge has perforations that suggest it was separated from another card. The front is printed with a description of the image, and the reverse has proforma printing.
