Neville_C wrote: Another set of eight cards. Seven by "Victa"; one by "Darsane".

"La Guerre du Transvaal / 8 Cartes Postales Satiriques / 1 / Couleurs".

This set seems to have been published as a limited edition, with all cards and wrappers stamped with a number (in this case "1"). This therefore appears to be No. 1 of an edition of c. 100 (the highest number I have seen is 95). There were two editions - one in black & white, the other in colour.

Hi Neville,
I have set number 149. The 8 cards are in B&W.

One of a series of postwar postcards in the South African caricature souvenir collection, by Captain Mordaunt Richards.
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

Yet another French set, this time with the title "FRUITS DE LA CONFÉRENCE DE LA PAIX / TRANSVAAL – CHINE". Drawings by "Un Lache Anonyme".

REVUE DE FIN D'ANNÉE / par / UN LACHE ANONYME / 2me Série / FRUITS DE LA CONFÉRENCE DE LA PAIX TRANSVAAL - CHINE / 10 CARTES POSTALES.

1.La charmante orchidée que son Excellence a créée! Et si nouvelle avec ses taches rouges on dirait saignantes ...
2. Vous voyez bien que le pays est inhabitable, il ne vous reste plus qu'à rejoindre les camps de concentration.
3. Les <<Hands up>> - Maudits Boers!... Heureusement, je commence à m'y faire, c'est la sixième fois qu'ils me déshabillent.
4. Bon! encore deux, je ne pourrai jamais tout compter. On sera content au War Office.
5. Décidément, il fait meilleur en Italie qu'en Rhodesia et les eaux de Salso-Maggiore me font le plus grand bien
6. Ce sont des lauriers qu’on a reçus pour Monsieur le Maréchal, mais le colis a beaucoup souffert et les voilà bien desséchés.
7. A Blagovestchenk. – Qui, les Barbares? Ceux qui noient ou ceux qu’on noie?...
8. Pour le butin, du moins, nous nous entendrons toujours.
9. Voilà de bonnes haines semées, don’t nos fils récolteront les fruits.
10. Conclusion: <<Comment diable Duran a-t-il fait pour se procurer les magnifiques robes de l’Impératrice de Chine don’t il a fait des dessus de bonbonnieres?>>. (Les Journaux).

Here are seven cards from the German toy soldier set, one of which David has already posted. Drawings by "Fritzchen" [Little Fritz].
I have no idea how many cards there were in the original set.

Unfortunately, the hand-written descriptions are very difficult to read.

This card is I think from the same series and was posted from Germany to Harrogate on the same date as five others from the set, identical to the cards shown by Neville. If it has Boer War relevance, it is lost on me!
