Here are another pair of cards from that series.
This is labeled "THE SCOTCH COAST OFF ANSTRUTHER" on the front.
On the back, we find this information:
Raphael Tuck & Sons' "OILETTE" [Regd.] Postcard 7061.
ART PUBLISHERS TO THEIR MAJESTIES THE KING AND QUEEN
The Scotch Coast, off Anstruther. Anstruther in Fifeshire is a closely-packed and red-roofed fishing town rising directly from the water's edge, with a green and well-wooded country behind it. It was the birthplace, in 1780, of the Rev. Thomas Chalmers, D.D. Six miles south-east of it is the Isle of May, whose lighthouse is the only one in Scotland lighted by electricity.This postcard was mailed from Detroit, Michigan, to Stratford, Ontario, in December 1906. It was sent to a Miss Flora Nichol. There was no message.
On the front of the above postcard, the word Oilette is written in orange in the lower-left corner. There is an indecipherable (to me) symbol in the lower right.
Here's the information from the back:
Raphael Tuck & Sons' "OILETTE" [Regd.] Postcard 7171.
ART PUBLISHERS TO THEIR MAJESTIES THE KING AND QUEEN
A RISING TIDE. From the original painting by Professor Van Hier
The postcard was also mailed from Detroit, Michigan, to Flora in Stratford, Ontario, in early July 1907. Again, there is no message.
