Is there anyone out there that knows anything atall about these? I'm constantly trawling the internet but really can't seem to find anything out!
cheers

Welcome to the forum.....

These look a lot like the cartoons that appeared in the newspapers printed during the siege.....

The Ladysmith Lyer and Bombshell.....

These may have been drawn and printed at that time.....

Mike

Thanks Mike,

Do you have any idea which newspaper this was? If so could you tell me where I could find info about them.

The only info I can find is there is one of these in the Australian war museum!?!

Regards Mike

Mike,

It wasn't a newspaper in the conventional sense but a paper produced by the inhabitants during the siege of Ladysmith. If you search for the names Mike gave, you will, I think, find the original of the pictures/postcards that you have.

Please let us know how you progress.

Best wishes
David

Hi Mike.....

Here are a couple of cartoons from original Ladysmith Lyer Papers.....

Hi all,
Thanks for the info. I'm still looking but can't find any of the same! very similar but not the same! I took them to a local auctioneer today and he's VERY interested in them himself! He wants to buy them off me because he collects postcards of this era. I've said no to him because I have no clue on how much they're worth?!? He then offered me £200! Still said no!
Any idea's on how much you guys would say they're worth??? I don't know what to do
Cheers Mike
