HAWKER'S RESTAURANT & BOARDING ESTABLISHMENT CARDS - SERIES?

#1 Post by Ross Ewington » Sat Dec 04, 2010 4:28 pm

These advertising cards for "Hawker's Restaurant and Boarding Establishment" probably date from 1904/05
as the LH card has an undivided back and the RH card shows the same prices for accommodation.

Views inserted in to the map of Tasmania are "The Lawn at the Cataract Gorge, Launceston" and
"Snow Scene on the West Coast".

Do any TPS BB members have any of these cards with a different view? Also, does anyone have a used
example to confirm the period of use?

Has anyone looked for any of these cards yet? :P Since making the above post I have noted
that while the advertising text is identical, the size and outline of the map of Tasmania
differs between the cards.
