Foreign stereographers / publishers - Realistic Travels

According to William Darrah, the Realistic Travels company funded by H. D. Girdwood was "the most successful British stereo publisher in the twentieth century." The company did not however live long, by comparison with many of the American publishers, being active in the period between 1908 and 1916 [Darrah 1997, p. 109]. The type of card mount used is represented below:
