I recently purchased this postcard with the view entitled "Circular Head Tasm." published by
O.S. & P.C. Co. (Oceanic Stamp & Post Card Company - Sydney).
Does anyone know the artist or if there are any other Tasmanian views in this series?

Re: Circular Head Tasm[mania] Postcard by O.S. & P.C. Co
This is a Australia wide set. Either printed by VSM (Victorian Stamp Market) or O.S & P.C. Co. I have one Tasmanian view and one Western Australian view. I have no idea who the artist was or what other cards are in the set. I have seen other cards from this set but have taken little notice of them!
I have scanned another similar type card by Fred Booty from the "Rough Sea series" with a Tasmanian view. Again I know there are other mainland views and perhaps other Tasmanian views? I don't think the above cards are by Booty. The art work is quite different.
See page 105 Picture Posrcards by Cook for information on Booty.
