The numbered cards, listed in the catalogue, are: #613, 704 (with written message in Japanese; to J. Park Graybell, Jr., who in 1904 became Secretary-Treasurer of the Union Souvenir Card Exchange, just as membership was approved for a certain Karl Lewis of Yokohama!), 774A, 775, 837, 877, 924 (captioned only "A Japanese. garden,"), 1005 (missing "(A relic of old Japan)" in caption), 1035, 1491, 1732 (no "at Mojizuri Ishi" in caption), 2119, 2158, 2172 and 2545. Numbered but unlisted in the catalogue: 609-A ("The United States cruiser 'New Orleans'"; marked, in the waves, with what appears to be "Karl Lewis art."). Numbered hors série: "No. 30. PORT ARTHUR." Unnumbered cards: "China. Pagoda on Tiger Hill, Soo Chow, China./'Published by Karl Lewis, Photographer, No. 102, Honmura Road, Yokohama.'"; a winter street scene (caption in white…against snow; it may be numbered, but we can't tell); a black-and-white photo captioned "Ruins on Admiralty Island"; a hand-tinted photo, "CHINA. Hong Kong."; and "EGYPT. The Water-front of Port Said." (the source for the "Port Said" image on the multi-view card in Lot 2372). All cards are either captioned by Lewis or have his sake gourd logo on reverse (two with the gourd inverted). A variety of backs (solid, split, bordered UPU, etc.). Some used, some toned, but all sound. A beautiful compilation. All imaged online., A Very Fine group.
