Hello,

Can somebody assist in identifying this card ? I think it is Japanese (maybe a tea field) but I'm not sure and I cannot understand the caption at bottom left.
Thanks !

I was just about to say it's from Beijing, because the two characters in the middle reads 'bei' and 'jing' - untill it occurred to me that back then, Chinese was written from the right to the left. The full text, read in the correct order, says "YanJing BeiHai". YanJing is a different name for Beijing (so it's from Beijing after all). BeiHai is a park there. See an image of BeiHai park here: Link (http) .
