These are extraordinary!
Wonderful photos, and expensively tinted.
Well done vetraio, I couldn't find the publisher or photographer.
They probably came as a set in an envelope as a souvenir.
I have a similar post here;

quite pleased with the quality of photo my silly ipad takes. i forgot to say the other side of them is completely blank. you guys are brilliant. i suppose the more you help us people identify things the easier it gets. ive joined up with trove.nla.gov thanks.
Trove is a fabulous resource!
