Ottmar Zieher cards of Tas postage stamps

[David McNamee]

Zieher and Zieher-style cards produced by VSM Melbourne and OS&PC Sydney were printed with added photographic views in the empty space on the front. Can anyone identify the photographer or source of the images?

Excellent project ....... this would be a good thread to also create 'a census' of these cards by posting as many different ones as possible (this may help the source of the photographs)

I'll have a look through my auction image files and see if I can find more in addition to the example below

unfortunately, I didn't make an image of the other side of the card before selling
