Dates

1899-1902

The cards are all 5.5 ins x 3.5 ins, a size that was introduced in 1899, replacing the earlier 'court card' size of 4.75 ins x 3.5 ins.

The backs of the cards have undivided backs, so date from the period up to 1902, when only the address, but no message, could be written on the backs of postcards.

So these postcards are likely to  have been published between 1899 and 1902.
