Foreign stereographers / publishers - Keystone assorted views

Every now and then a few cards pop up that show no explicit information about their original set. Basically there are two types of card mounts associated with these cards, a (sort of) pink mount used in earlier cards and the traditional grey card mounts used with most of the Keystone views. These two types are illustrated below:

 
  (Sort of) pink curved card mount with round-corner images, typical of the earlier Keystone views. Printed vertically on the left: "Keystone View Company - Manufacturers and Publishers". Printed vertically on the right: "Meadville, Pa St. Louis, Mo. - Copyright, 1900, by B. L. Singley." Notice that the copyright information in this case refers to the amateur photographer who founded the Keystone View Company. The negative reference number and the caption are printed horizontally on the lower right.
   
 
  The usual grey curved card mount with round-corner images, commonly used with later Keystone views. Printed vertically on the left: "Keystone View Company - Copyrighted, Underwood & Underwood, Inc. - Manufacturers, made in U.S.A., Publishers". Printed vertically on the right: "Meadville, Pa., New York, N. Y., - Chicago, Ill., London, England." The negative reference number and the caption are printed horizontally on the lower right (the "V" prefix indicates that this view of Coimbra originated from the Underwood & Underwood negative files).
