What I like about all of these cards are the tremendously life-like poses and in particular the facial details that the artist has captured; so much so I suspect the subjects must have originally been photographed and then the picture created from that? Perhaps someone else can advise on the suggestion?

I hope no member minds if some of the remaining cards in this set ( Territorial Regiments ) are post WW1 and pre-WW2.
This will then give those interested a complete set.

That's really well spotted! I've always somewhat presumed this must have happened, but never seen proof positive quite like this. Well done.
