The Vignette Series are black and white cards with a vignette image printed by halftone. These cards are in exactly the same style, including the back layout, as cards John Walker & Co published of UK subjects. The series can be identified as a John Walker production by the logo, an anchor in red separating the words POST and CARD.

This series of cards have an undivided back, which was the post office requirement in Tasmania until 1905.  There are only a few usage dates on the cards I have; a few are 1903, one is a late usage of 1908.

The images on the cards are the standard scenes on early Tasmanian cards.  About half of the Vignette series cards have the image identified as by Sirius, which is a pseudonym of Charles Gruncell. Gruncell was a schoolmaster and photographer in Hobart.

While all the cards were clearly manufactured by John Walker & Co, some bear the name of businesses in Hobart as the publisher; Mrs. J. Nolan, Bookseller, Hobart; T.L. Hood, Bookseller, Hobart.  Presumably these were customers who ordered cards in their own name for advertising purposes.
