The Homeland Series: Real Photos
   Cavanders Ltd. - 1924
The Homeland Series: Hand Coloured Real Photos
   Cavanders Ltd. - 1924
The Homeland Series: Real Photos (Reprinted)
   Cavanders Ltd. - 1925

Notes:  Cards are approximately 2" x 3"; a "regular cigarette-card size" series 
was also produced by Cavanders in 1924.  Some cards may refer to a Cavanders
brand, e.g., Army Club Cigarettes. Card fronts feature photographs and card 
backs feature snippets of appropriate poetry. Thanks much to Jon Waldman 
for the update/clarification!

Three (or four) varieties are found for this series, and my set is mixed so I am 
not absolutely sure that my markings descriptions are universally correct. Here
is the gist: There were two main issues, marked "Real Photos" with the title
centered on the card back, and "Hand Coloured Real Photos."  But some of 
the original photos were in colour. In the second issue, I believe these were 
reprinted with the "Hand Coloured" text whited out, so that the "Real Photos"
description is at the right of the line on the card back.  The list below shows 
the cards from my mixed set that are in colour with the subtitle at the right 
(presumed to be part of the second issue) or that have the subtitle in the 
center (presumed to be part of the first issue, with an alternate text-right
version produced). One exception to these hypothese is card 28, which is
in black-and-white but has the text-right subtitle.

The Murray Cards International catalog states that the "Hand Coloured Real
Photos" version has only 50 cards. I have cards marked that way through 
number 56, so if there were only 50 cards released in that issue, I do not know
which 6 were excluded. Murray also notes an "Uncoloured" 56-card series, 
and I do not know whether this means that the cards do not bear the "Real 
Photos" text at all. I also do not know the characteristics of the 1925 series
that is marked "Reprint."  If any expert out there can confirm or deny my
speculations, I would appreciate any update!
