This postcard is very nicely printed with sharp clean colours. It is a very rare card and this is the only example that I have seen with this publisher or this viewpoint.

There is a Hiram Cumming, his wife and his son Harry S. Cumming all buried in St Philip's Church Cemetery in Westville. Their birth and death dates would put them in the right time to have taken this picture and they were clearly members of this church if they are buried in it's cemetery.
