A complete set of the Australian Scenic Series, 100 in number, housed in a Country Life Cigarette Card Album. Undated, but early 20th century, presumably 1920s. Each photograph is captioned on the recto and with a short description on the verso. Depicts regional and city scenes, being landscapes, buildings, city life, country life, animals, bridges, rivers, beaches, and caves, of which 25 are in New South Wales, 25 in Victoria, 15 in South Australia, 12 in Western Australia, 15 in Queensland, and 8 in Tasmania.

Joints of album cracking but still holding. Most cards are in Very Good Condition, though the cards on the top row of the first two pages are tanned, 3 cards have a corner creased, and a few other cards with minor marks. Good Condition.
