About Series : Tasmanian Series Style 3

Beattie published at least five different styles of cards which were labelled "Tasmanian Series". This, the third style in this series, differs from Style 1 and Style 2 by having an image with square corners, a caption below in brown text, and a green back.

 

Date Published:  I have only 4 cards of this style, the earliest of which is dated 24 July 1905.

 

Printing: These were printed by collotype, and one has been hand coloured.

 

Number in Series: Unknown

 

Identification: These have a large, square-cornered image with a caption in brown print below.  The back is printed in green. From 1905 a divided back was allowed in Tasmania hence three of the cards I have show a divided back  and the other undivided.
