Printing Details
This is a black and white postcard of Yitzhaq II ben Amram ben Shalma ben Tabia (called Isaac on this postcard), and signed to the rear.

The back of the postcard has been signed by the High Priest in Samaritan Hebrew, with a different hand writing underneath "Isaac, son of Imran, High Priest of the Samaritans".
