Evidence, credit & reuse: Distinct new museum image; not one of the existing exterior postcards. The photographed inscription explicitly says January27th 1914; date matches. Display copy optimized for the web with proportional resizing and compression. The linked repository identifies the original image. Reuse: Link only pending item-level museum rights; historic postcard may be public domain but publication evidence not examined
