At the top of the postcard “Alexandropol” is written by hand, and the printed Russian caption reads “General view of the northern part of the town”. One- and two-storey stone houses can be seen, with a large two-storey stone building on the right and mountains in the distance. In the foreground is a fenced yard with cart wheels and a person.
