Many more similar plates from the same book to follow, so please be patient while I find time to list them all.
Some of the cards have been unevenly trimmed on the upper edge, this should be apparent on the large image. However, there should always be roughly an inch above the print, leaving enough room for masking or framing.
Good condition for age. Some age related wear around the edges. Some foxing on some of the prints. Please look closely at the various images for a clear indication of condition.
