Tas L of C Area Records Office stamped on a postcard! Real Photo by HJH

3 more EAW real photo cards. The only EAW I know is Burnie photographer ERNEST ALBERT WINTER. Is it possible its Winter? Did he have some connection to Bothwell? 2 of my cards are posted from Bothwell,1908 and 1912. I agree that he/she was an excellent photographer. scan0412.jpg scan0411.jpg scan041...

Does anyone have information on C.CATTERMOLE Photographer. Not listed by Long (another one).

Your guess looks right to me, Tasman Peninsula- Port Arthur- Saltwater River area. I cannot specfic the exact location.

I have listed the known sets of Tasmanian Tourist Bureau postcards in my book The Semi Official Postcards of Tasmania 1908 to 1969.

Off course there maybe cards which I am not aware of. If you will like more information please contact me.

I have stayed out of this post as I have my cards sorted by town / area, so to find and list cards by Selwyn Cox / Wynphotoprint would be a big task and I do not have the time at the moment. I have two copies of the Commercial Hotel Wynyard, have scanned the back of each card. "The Photoglase Series...

Hello Ross

Yes I think it is the Eastern Side of Freycinet. My guess it is a view looking south from the top of the hill above Bluestone Bay looking towards the Nuggets.

A quick look at Trove, the following was found, Mercury 12/9/45 Flight Officer G M Breaden of Waverly Av New Town, a RAAF prisoner of war in Germany for 16 months returns home. He is listed as producing another Souvenir view folder of 16 views of Port Arthur. In the Tasmanian Trade and Business Dire...

An important new find ? To my knowledge this is the first recording of a Tasmanian Franco Exhibition postcard with the Exhibition Postmark. Can anyone record another copy? The card was posted 7th July 1908 from the Exhibition in London to Leeds. The picture on the front is "British and Foreign Woolb...

Broomby & Dents New Grain & Seed Warehouse 5 - 7 George St Launceston, is now known with and without a pro forma printed back.

So the sum up -

1. A Prize Merino Ram "President"

2. The Prize Merino Ram "President"

An inside view of H.W.Grattan's Shop.

I think this real photo postcard is by H.J.King but where is it? This very distinct creek crossing should be easy to identify. I guess the best clue is the hops growing behind the house. As far as I know hops have only been grown around the Bushy Part area and around Branxholm in the North east. I b...

Found this real photo card today by photographer G. GLOVER. "Long" in his book does not list him. In 1913 a Geo Glover lived at 5 Lochner St Hobart. I wonder if this is him. Has anyone else come across G Glover? The card has Kodak / Austral on the back with solid circles in each corner. scan0252.jpg

The following real photo postcard is I believe a shot taken by H J King on the the top of Mt Arthur near Launceston. c1913 I think the man in the middle with the long leather coat is Stephen Spurling. Can someone confirm this? Who are the other people? Is the man in front centre Dr Ray McClinton? Mc...

Much appreciated Patrick. Have looked in my Tas PO directories (1904 and 1913) and a google search but have been unable to locate Paterson's Luncheon Room. Not sure if this card is Tasmanian but perhaps, my guess it is Hobart. (At the moment) I hope someone can confirm this. My research suggests tha...

Unused real photo card by Spurling. I think this is taken at the Old showgrounds Launceston? What does A.S.C. stand for? I believe "The Right of the Line" is a military term.
Real photo card by R.McGuffie, Hobart. Unused, no names unfortunately.

This interesting real photo card was taken by Hobart photographer William Williamson.

Can anyone identify any of these gentleman or the location? Mt wellington in the background or is it a bit to low?

On your marks, get set, GO!

A military parade on the Domain Hobart? Postally used 24/3/10

Now for a couple of real photo cards, both unused. I wonder who the solders were? Training at Claremont?

The "Indian" looks like a fun bike to ride!

1. J.Barnett photo, Glenorchy
2. DIC photo 173 Elizabeth St Hobart.

A couple of Claremont Camp postcards. Both unused.

Ross, not sure if this scan of the back of the card will help you?

Nic Haygarth has just send me the following information,

The HJ King photo of bikes and men under the flume appeared Weekly Courier 28/5/1914, p.17, entitled 'A water race near St Helens'.

See my post dated Friday May 4th 2012 regarding Arthur Denton Niven card. I was unable to get a scan at the time.

This unused real photo postcard shows 12 views of Tasmania's East Coast. These photographs won first prize in the Tasmanian Arts and Craft Society's competition.

Can anyone identify the prize winning photographer and perhaps the year? I would guess c1912!
