A Real Photo Postcard from Frognerseteren, Norway (Xania, Oslo)

1084 - Fra.  Frognerseteren. 
This vintage, real photo postcard was postmarked in 1907.
I believe this is the restaurant that is still open today.  The oldest part of the restaurant opened in 1891.  
It is still known for serving people who are snow skiing.

I can not make out the photographers mark, but looks something like, 'XANIA'. 
I looked up Xania and found this.... 
“Xania” is a historic abbreviation or alternate spelling for Kristiania, the former name of Oslo, Norway.
