Does anyone have any other cards by this photographer?
Chris Long in "Tasmanian Photographers 1840-1940" illustrates a card entitled
"Harbottle's Cottage, Swansea, E.C. Tas." and dates it as being from c.1906. He also illustrates
the back of the card ...

Now this is very interesting if the Rose Stereograph card back is really the reverse of the
Kennedy card. Firstly, the Rose card back dates from the 1930s and not c.1906. Secondly,
did Rose print cards for other photographers/publishers because you don't look too closely,
the card looks like a Rose product ..... ditto the "Ross Series" card of King Island

and this card by W.E. Rose of Scottdale http://tps.org.au/bb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=352#p1539 ???????
What do you think .... do you have any cards with views attributed to photographers other than Rose (George that is)
that have Rose Stereopgraph backs?[/size]
