I found an old black and white folio of Tassie photos published in 1910. It's called '81 Views of Tasmania'. Paul Stork gave it to me back in the day when we were doing many trips across Bass Strait. I think he was cleaning out prior to moving and I am not sure where he got it from. It is battered, tattered, torn and covered in sticky tape. It is very awkward to open and prone to tearing, the pages being a metre or so across. I got out my wand scanner to reproduce some pages before they disintegrate. There was some distortion but I have a few better ones here. Some are of favourite spots and one I have never been to. There is a copy in the national library which I assume is in better condition.
