<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Decka, post: 1219214, member: 12683&quot;]Thankyou all for your input. Yes the horses names are very conveniently written next to each postcard. This is how I was able to research the postcards and date them. Researching some of the horses I was able to find out that some of them indeed won major races in Australia and New Zealand. There are also some RPPC’s of prominent figures in the trotting industry back in the day. A lot of the pictures are taking with the trainer ( wearing a suit ) putting the trotter through its paces. There are also many pictures of the horses taken at their owners home or homestead, with classic old cars in the background, shops with vintage advertising, etc.</p><p>I have shown the RPPC’s to a museum here in Australia and they confirmed that they are RPPC’s.</p><p>As to the postcards ever being published I can’t say. Did the albums belong to a photographer working for one of the local newspapers? Or did the albums belong to one of the prominent figures pictured in the album. The prominent gentlemen pictured would of definitely had the finances and more importantly access to these horses.</p><p>The search continues...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
