I have not seen any real photo cards before embossed "Sun Studios" (Zeehan)

This card is numbered '31' so it may be from a fairly extensive contemporary series.

If you have any other examples, please post them below

I recently came across another real photo card attributed to "Synnott", this time with a first initial "W"

Again the card has a view from the New Norfolk area and was published by D.I.C. (Fellowes)

Just described this Universal Studios card with a view of Fossil Bluff and Table Cape for my next auction

Cards by Universal Studios are certainly few and far between!!

I just noted another "sub-publisher" of Spurling cards - HOPE & FIELD, BOOKSELLERS, DEVONPORT

This card originally published by Spurling & Son (Mersey Lighthouse, Devonport...) is numbered "Nr. 293"

Another example of the DUNDAS JUNCTION Type 1 cds has been discovered (until now, only one strike had been recorded from the first period of use)

Dated OC 24 91, this example becomes the ERD with the previously only example known now becoming the LRD i.e. 29 JUL 93

This card is endorsed on the back "1929 Floods" ....... my best guess is that the location is on the Mersey or Forth Rivers ..... does any know the exact location?

This is the first real photo card by F.P. Doddridge, Dunalley I have seen.
It appears to be a very professional production and therefore hard to believe that it's just 'a 'one off'

Does anyone have any other cards by this photographer?
