Baur Cards showing Manx Views

Introduction

I have a few cards labelled Baur's series - they appear to be on German manufacture and date before 1907 - the views selected are somewhat different from those by other manufacturers. They were published by Manchester based Ernst Ludwig Baur who being a German national and having lived in the UK for some 14 years was interned and in 1916 repatriated to Germany.
