Tuck's Post Cards: More than 100 year old images of Mhow


"Tuck's Post Card": A Chance Discovery on the Internet of Some Delightful Picture Post Cards on Mhow


These 'Tuck's Post Cards' I discovered accidentally while performing a google search are more than 100 year old (the date I got was 23 Sept 1916).  
This is what is inscribed on the reverse of the cards (italics mine):

 Raphael Tuck & Sons' "Art Sepia" Post Cards
 Art Publishers to Their Majesties The King and Queen
 Kamroodin Mohamedally, Mhow, C India
 Printed in England
=========================================

Note: To the best of my knowledge these are public domain images as they are more than a 100 years old and were used as post cards the public could buy.
