The Burma Diptych Postcard

Discovering something previously unseen is always a remarkable experience. Recently, I stumbled upon a special find that left me in awe. It all began when I noticed a striking similarity between two postcards listed by the same seller. Driven by curiosity, I downloaded the images and used computer software to combine them, revealing an astonishing revelation - these two postcards seamlessly form a single image. 

Two Picture Postcards

Merged Image

The merged picture beautifully captures the essence of the sacred pagoda stupa on the iconic Shwedagon Pagoda. The reverse side of the postcard, featuring three address lines in a divided back format and lacking a stamp box, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, dating back to the 1920s.
