bumped corners otherwise fine to very fine unused. Rare: not
previously seen by us. [Nos 2 & 4 are essentially the same as in
the previous lot, which suggests they were issued to promote the
1908 release of the film in England. In 1910, the film was
re-issued, possibly with additional scenes, so these cards may be
from that time. The matter is unsettled because only 17 minutes of
the 60+ minutes of the original film have survived] (6)
