On another, later postcard, this same image was identified as from Cawston's Ostrich Farm, and the information with a black-and-white photograph of the same rig calls it a delivery cart for the Cawston Farm. In this tinted picture two ostriches pull a cart and driver. Behind them stands another man. In the left lower corner is the publisher's number, 106. The white space at the bottom remains from pre-1907 days when messages were not allowed on the address side. The logo of the publisher, only active from 1905-1910, is at the top of the message space on the back, with the word "Communications" just under it. Three postcards with this same image are in this collection, all made in Germany. The other two are PC-001-928 and PC-001-930.
