This divided back vintage postcard depicts the Railway Administration building ("Administracion del Ferrocarril") in the port city of Taltal, Chile. Published by Carlos Brandt of Valparaiso (No. 3038), the image features a view of a tennis match in progress with spectators gathered near the Pacific coast. The Taltal Railway was a vital British-owned line during the nitrate era, and this card offers a glimpse into the colonial-style architecture and social recreation of the period. Item #: 472
