It is a typical cabinet card (16,2 x 10,7 cm), albumin print (very thin photograph) mounted on a card; black reverse; no publisher or photographer given. I think it was given as a gift to the last guests at the hotel before it was closed down - "In Memoriam". (Must have been a posh place to stay. Too remote? Too expensive?)

Marvelous interior views, and the bottom right is an unusual view of Lower Peak Tram Terminus. Does the postcard show when it was mailed ?
Ebay
Is it sold in the ebay recently?
