Advice, please

As a relative beginner, I'm always a bit nervous about selliing a card which I think might be 'special'; how to list it, how to get the attention of specific collectors, where to start bidding etc. So, with this card I would appreciate some advice. The photograph was undoubtedly taken in India, since it came in a whole album of postcards of India. The uniforms are WW1.

I've been caught out before - there could be hundreds of them out there...

Advice much appreciated please. Thanks.

Hi, and thank you for answering. The back of this card gives us nothing, I'm afraid. It is unwritten, and published in English. I'll now post the least interesting scan ever!!!!!

I'm not convinced it's in India as they are pine trees more typical of northern Europe, also if it was in India wouldn't Indian troops be fighting the fire?

It could still be a private photo published as a postcard as the title is simply written on the negative in black ink to give the white positive print, and postcard-backed photo card was widely available at the time

Good morning to you both, and thank you.
I went back to the album where I found the postcards. Mostly, they are published postcards, collected quite carefully, but I you are right, there are some others which look like personal photographs, which I suspect were taken by the same camera, giving me some answers.

The photo of the tunnel, attached, shows both British soldiers and local men. There's a tiny word - Baljee - which is right in the north of India, which may explain the pine trees. The second card also shows pine trees.

For me, the interesting thing as that this early photographer had some skill. The 'Forest Fire' picture looks a bit posed, and given that it must have taken time to focus and expose, the faces are remarkably clear. In the tunnel picture he has managed to keep the focus on both the close subjects and the two men above, on horses.

Among the collection are a number of what we might call racially offensive portraits, but I suppose in those days that was sadly the norm.

Again, thank you for your help and interest. Cheers.
