Exhibition Album of Pictorial Post Cards. 32 Colored Views of Ireland and 2 Half-tone Pictures of Blackrock & Blarney Castle, Ireland.

Six leaves, each 35 x 28 cm, in original red printed wraps. The first four leaves consists of eight coloured postcards, each 8.5 x 13.5 cm, with perforations between them for ease of removal. The last two leaves each carry full-page landscape photographs, the first of Blackrock and the second of Blarney Castle. The wraps are heavily worn, and there is occasional staining and wear to the photographs, but overall this is a most attractive and evocative production, and a rare survival in its complete state (no other copies traced). Scenes include 'Veterans March Past at Royal Hospital, Dublin', 'The Reading Room, Royal Hospital, Dublin', 'Gt. Southern Station, Kingsbridge, Dublin' (with coaches passing in the foreground), 'Kingstown, View from Railway Station' (Pavilion Gardens), 'An Irish Village', 'Rockington House, Dublin', 'View on River Liffey, Lucan' (with Edwardian ladies in foreground). Individual cards from this collection have appeared on the internet with postmarks as early as 1906.
