Invercargill postcard

Invercargill was a thriving town of around 10,000 when this postcard was made, in the 1900s. The view from the tower of the Post Office shows the Bank of New Zealand (left) and the National Bank (right) on facing street corners, and the dome of the Catholic church in the middle distance.
