This collection of 25 such cards is circa 1912, is framed and in VG-EX condition. Historic moments such as the Marriage of Princess Mary and the Opening of Parliament House in Canberra are on the cards, which are displayed in rows of five with "WILLS'S CIGARETTES" above them and "H.D. & H.O. WILLS" below.
