Do not forget to insure

If your car bolts run it
where you are most likely
to fall on something soft |
Always show a deaf ear

Do not unnerve your
chauffeur by showing undue
alarm when danger is ahead |
Reckless driving round
corners may make the best
of friends fall out |

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). |
