12 coloured postcards joined concertina style, contained in soft paper covered wraps in excellent condition. The postcards are bright and complete. 

The twelve scenes are:-

1. R.M.S. Arundle leaving Cape Town.

2. Devil's Peak and Table Mountain.

3 Parliament House, Cape Town.

4. Grand Parade and the City Hall, Cape Town.

5. The Circus and Promenade Pier, Cape Town.

6. Adderley Street and Table Mountain, Cape Town.

7. Adderley Street from S. Cape Town.

8. Flower sellers, Adderley Street.

9. Cape Town, Table Mountain and Lion's Head from G.P.O.

10. Mountain Tramway, Camps Bay, C.P.

11. Camps Bay and Apostles, C.P.

12. Rhodes Memorial and Energy Statue, Groote Schuur, C.C.

The South African Bibliography (volume 1, page 155) records a similar item (only two copies), but the dimensions differ from this item and in this case no publisher was provided.

A pre-1914 war date seems in order as Rhodes Memorial was completed in 1912 and although there are some cars present, the cabs in Adderley Street are horse drawn.
