On the verso of the cover is a List of the 24 views in a full set. We have only 12 chromolith view cards of which 6 are advertisement cards with chromoliths on one side but no description only a sales pitch for the large size framable pictures of views purchasable at Seitz's Wandsbeck "Artistic Institute" These large Aquarell-reproductions were 41 x 50mm and cost 5 Marks each! These small cards were probaby free samples to entice customers to buy large reproductions. The other 6 cards have a full description of the Swiss view shown in the picture on the front of the card.The mounts of two cards are repaired not affectiong the chromolith plate and there are a few other signs of use but nothing detracting from the lovely Swiss views.
