Miss AA Mylan's West Coast Postcards

[Mike]

I can list 12 cards published by Miss AA Mylan. Is 12 the complete set?
The cards are printed in colour. Most cards have A.A Mylan Q'Town printed on the bottom. A few have the name missing.

As mentioned before, Miss AA Mylan had her Newsagency and Bookshop in Orr St Queentown

Cards 1, 11 and 12 are known in black and white with the overprint "Ladies ask for the Improved Pump Shoe."

1. Emu Bay Railway W. Coast. *
2. Mt Lyell Ry Halls Creek
3. King River Gorge Mt Lyell Ry.
4. The Smelters Queenstown Tasmania.
5. Court House Settlement Is.
6. Mt Lyell Company Abt. System Railway.
7. Queenstown.
8. King River W. Coast Tas.
9. Hells Gates Entrance Macquarie Harbour.
10. Mt Lyell Haulage.
11. Linda Valley
12. King River Gorge.

* Card 1 (This is the large wooden bridge across the Que River. Due to on going maintenance problems, the gorge was filled in and two large pipes were put in place for the river to flow through. You can see why a post office was needed on site during the constuction of this large wooden bridge.

I have a few (4-5) of these, but I note in my listings that I have a double card in the same style of 'The Smelters, Queenstown'. However, it is not a traditional double card, but actually a double half-card. (see below). Thanks for making me look, I found a Mylan card that was missing from my index!

I recall having seen the card above "Court House Settlement I" printed in black & white.

Does anyone have an image of this (or any others from the series not listed by Mike as being
known in black & white) that they can post in this topic?

Hello Ross
I have seen 3 cards in black and white, see my listing above. No reason not to assume that perhaps all 12 cards exist in B & W. Each card has an advertisement for "Improved Pump Shoe". Notice "Walker & Bellmaine Melb" printed bottom left corner. I do not have a copy of "Court House Settlement I" in B & W. Are these the cards you are referring to?
