A postcard from a different angle

A postcard from the Albertype co. Brooklyn NY. No doubt from before electricity, Note the Crossing Guard, the Crossing Shanty and kerosene lamp on the post near the guard. Original roof line and taller chimney. You can just make out the roof line of the Erie station across the street.This is my favorite postcard due to the extra details, wider view and different angle. I own 5 postcards of the Atlanta Depot, does anyone know if any different ones exist?

Updated July 7, 2017. This last week end, my wife & I visited a barn sale near Loon Lake, I found a copy of this very same postcard, quite tattered but it had a postmark of 1908 on the reverse, it was nice to get a date range and it was only the second copy of this post card I have ever seen.
