Cards 4, 5 and 6 of this set are without the H. Fleury junior signature.
Perhaps he forgot to sign them, or perhaps the signature was cropped off
in the printing process. I think the photographer in cards 2 and 6 of
this set is modelled on the artist's father Hermann Fleury (senior) a
portrait of whom can be found here.
He was himself a photographer and portrait painter. |

I have come across three versions of this set. Two are published by GD&D
- one with, and one without, a white border. The third set (without border)
is published by Chas. L. Reis & Co., Dublin. The ones shown below
are the GD&D set with the white border. I have indicated below which
cards from the three sets which I have actually collected. Mount Melleroy
(or Melleray) Monastery is in County Waterford in the south of the Republic
(see card 4). |
