    It appears to be a 'genuinely old' postcard. As for whether or not the Albertype Company got the image from another source--that's another question. They had their own photographers but also used images from others.

    Don't know how familiar you are with Albertype postcards but many were either hand-colored or tinted in some way or printed 'duotone'--often with greens and browns.
    here's a link with a quick history (at the bottom of the page):

    There are collectors who look specifically for 'Albertype' postcards--doesn't matter what city or subject--they really like the look of the cards. (They are nice!)
    If you're listing it here, I'd definitely mention the publisher in the title to help people searching.
