Pied Piper Postcards

#1 Post by Hobbit123 » Wed Jun 08, 2011 3:42 am

I have recently acquired on EBay four Tasmanian postcards, all with an image of a 'Pied Piper' in the header block. I am posting an image of the header block below. The four images are:

Cataract Gorge in Flood
Feeding pigeons, Cliff Grounds
Moonlight Carnival on the Tamar (partial tinting in blue)
Launceston and King's Bridge from Trevallyn

All are RP and Black & White. The dress of the pigeon feeders suggests a date of around 1910-15

Titles are in italics on the front.

Can anyone help by identifying the publisher/printer please?

Patrick,

I have seen these card backs before and wondered "Who??". Would you please post images of the four cards as the photos may have been used for other cards where 'the publisher details' are known?
