Painted Naples, Italy scene of fish market and street.

Napoli Mercato di Pesci. “From Sorrento. I send best wishes for a Happy Xmas and New Year. The presents I will bring in the spring. I wish you were here to enjoy this charming spot. Yours ever, C.H. Dec. 16th.”

Addressed to:  Miss Katherine Lau Horne. 222 Pacific Avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey, U.S.A. Postmarked December 17, 1900, Napoli. It appears that C.H. was staying in Sorrento but sent the card from Napoli. Sorrento is about 50 kilometers down the coast from Napoli. The addressee’s name is an unusual one and will need more research.
