This image has an interesting provenance. The seller states: From my Granny's Basement for your enjoyment and pleasure we offer you this very rare estate find, a 1925 postcard issued by the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia to the Officers and Men of the American Fleet, July-August 1925. // This was an item that my Grandma's Uncle brought back to the USA after being on Duty in the Pacific Fleet. // This postcard features a picture of Circular Quay, Sidney, New South Wales, Australia.
