REAL PHOTO CARDS by K.H. REISS

Until I purchased these real photo cards last weekend, I was unaware of the photographer K.H. Reiss

Both cards have a Kodak "stamp box" on the back and are unused. As both cards are of 1950/60s hydro scheme views,
one would date them as being from c.1960 (when the Liapootah Dam was commissioned).

Except for a recently unsold copy of the Lake Echo Flume card above found on eBay, I can locate no other online images of
any cards by Reiss. So this leads to my question ......

Does anyone have any other real photo cards by (or can be attributed to) K.H. Reiss and/or any information about his/her work?

I offer one more Reiss card, of Brady's Lake. I have copies of the other two illustrated.

I regret that I can offer nothing by way of background.

PINE TIER DAM, H.E.C. TASMANIA

The Hydro-Electric water storage was completed in 1953 which helps "date" this view.
