A bustling scene frozen in Kabul's golden era — the cream-and-blue-domed Pul-i-Kheshti Mosque presides over a lively streetscape where donkey carts, pedestrians, and early automobiles share the road beneath the bare brown ridgeline of the Asmai Hills. This vivid chrome-era color postcard captures pre-war Kabul at its most vital, circa early 1970s, when the city was a cosmopolitan stop on the hippie trail and the mosque served as the spiritual anchor of the old bazaar district beside the Kabul River. The single white minaret rises sharply against a cobalt sky, while the arched colonnades of the adjacent market (Nekzad) stretch to the right — a city humming with trade and daily devotion that would be shattered within the decade by Soviet invasion. Published by Nasrullah Sadiqui from his Nekzad Market stall, this card offers a poignant, collector-grade window into an Afghanistan that no longer exists.
