My English father-in-law was a passionate antique dealer.  Many strange & interesting things have passed through his hands, & he has created a fascinating legacy for our family. From his estate... 

These 44 Antique cards are from a set issued by Ogden's in 1906, titled British Birds 2nd Series. These being the second series, they run from #51 through 100.

The cards picture and give information on 44 species of birds found in the British Isles in 1906. The fronts have a lovely illustration of the subject species in a natural setting as well as the birds name & the cards #, the backs give general information on the bird ... such as habitat, food, distribution, nesting habits etc.

These cards are 115 years old, and are mostly in excellent condition, with mostly all having very nice clean fronts & backs, with mostly excellent corners. #s 57, 69, 86, & 99 small minor creases, hard to see in pic's, #64 has two noticeable creases.

They are preserved in plastic insert pages, which unfortunately do not enhance the photo's, they look better in person. My photos are of each page - front & back - so please use the zoom feature to inspect each card and its description.
