Copper printing blocks

Set of 5 copper plates mounted on printing blocks with photographs of Dunrobin Castle (01-02), Grange Road, Dornoch (03), the Royal Dornoch Golf Course (04) and a general view of Dornoch (05) taken from the west. One block of Dunrobin Castle (01) is 147mm in length, the remainder 124mm and all are 87mm width and 21mm thickness. There is some tarnishing and dirt on the copper plates. The larger block has a printed map of part of western Scotland on the reverse, with a red line annotation which could be a tourist route. Possibly the blocks were used for the production of postcards.
