content: Most postcards are identified by a short caption on the front of the card in English, while some are also captioned in Chinese. The majority are from locations in the city of Shanghai, with the modern buildings on Nanjing Road and the Majestic Hotel being of particular interest. There are three cards from Guangzhou: one of the Liurong Temple (Flower Pagoda), one of the Hualin Temple (Temple of the 500 Genu), and one of the memorial gate in front of the Yuewang (or, Yuefei) Temple. One is not captioned and is of an unknown location.
