Printed "Empire Postcard" for Local Publishers - Any Info?

[Ross Ewington]

This card published by Andrew Mather & Co., Hobart (Printer's Index No.93769) has the "Empire Postcard" logo
on the back.

I am familiar with real photo cards with this logo on the back as several local photographer used the stock (R.C. Harvey
almost exclusively up until WWI) but I haven't noticed a printed card from a "local publisher" produced by Empire Postcards
before.

A couple of questions

1) does anybody have any more examples of "Empire Postcard(s)" citing Mather or anyone else as a publisher (mainland states cards too)
they can share in this topic?
2) does anybody have any information they can share in regard to Empire Postcards and their production of printed postcards and photographic
postcard stock produced for use by photographers?

Referring to my trusty list, I show below a list of all the cards that I have listed under 'Empire'. I may have others if they had a clearly identifiable publisher who is already in my list.

Cataract Gorge, Launceston U "R.J." 22
"Derwent" under full steam M
Falls, Sandfly U
Lindisfarne from Natone Hill U
Little Falls, Sandfly. U
Natural Pavement, Eaglehawk Neck M RP
Remarkable Cave, Port Arthur M RP
Scenery near Cascade Gardens U H D Russell
Shot Tower 1908
The Bluff, Bellerive U "Emmie"
Tin Dressing Sheds, Mt Bischoff mine, Waratah U
Tynwald' New Norfolk U Scruffy
Waratah U RP
Wesleyan Church, Mt Nicholas (?) U
Woodbridge Methodist Church M
Woodbridge Town Hall
Woodbridge Village M

Where I have recorded it, M is mint and U is used (not necessarily postally -0 may just be lots of WoB). RP means Real Photo. Only three have an identifiable publisher, but "R.J." presumably had at least 21 other cards. BTW, the 'scruffy' is just a comment on the state of the card!
