This appears to be a handmade promotional card for photograper J. V. Cobbs. It seems to be constructed with thin paper (hand?) glued on hard cardstock, the front has a semi-gloss image, while the back bears a matt finish with text detailing historical information about the front image.
There is significant patina on cardstock, and the image is slightly faded and yellowed but clear. Corners and edges are in suprisingly good condition.
There is a good description along with some nice photos at Cabinet of Wonders. However the best place to look is on the Church site itself, click through to the history pages where images show the astonishing volume of bones more clearly.
I imagine it would be an interesting place to tour.
