Small card folder with 12 photographs. Each photo has its title printed on reverse in handwritten style. Valentines snapshots were made of many places in the world, and packaged in a convenient size to be posted. They were printed in Great Britain. 

The photos are of landmark buildings and streetscapes of central Melbourne and neighbouring precincts.

One photo of Flinders Street Station shows a cable tram.  These were replaced by electric trams in 1927, thus giving a useful clue as to the date of the photos. 

The scenes included are:
Houses of Parliament
Flinders Street Railway Station
Town Hall
Museum, Art Gallery and Free Library (State Library of Victoria)
Exhibition Buildings
Government House
Gordon and Eight Hours Monument and Hotel Windsor
Collins Street
Elizabeth Street
Swanston Street
Bourke Street looking East 
River Yarra
