Postcard from Gorzhd

I found these images online of Gorzhd (Zayde Lang's shtetl), from a postcard that was mailed in 1908.

Since he left for the US in 1907, this scene was probably pretty familiar to him. He would've known this market.

(There are links on the page to enlarge the images.)

I'm guessing when I go there next week, it may look different...
