A Bengal tiger lies down and stares into the camera at the San Diego Zoo

 

 

 

EKC photo paper

A Bengal tiger, also known as an "Indian Tiger" as in the label on this black-and-white photograph, is lying down and facing the camera. He is presumably in his enclosure in the "San Diego Zoo," also identified in the inscription. The San Diego Zoo is in Balboa Park, San Diego, California. This is a Real Photo Post Card (RPPC) made with EKC photo paper (as evidenced in the stampbox on the back of this card). The Real Photo process allowed photographers to take a "snap shot" and have it finished at a photo shop that printed it out on postcard backing for mailing. EKC photo paper was made from 1930 to 1950.
