Pre- (pre-) Smartphone Panos

Spotted while browsing the wares at Sutter Creek's Old Hotel Antiques, a couple of vintage (c. 1910) panoramas from the Isle of Wight. As unique as they were, at $10 each they were too expensive (and the images too faded*) to be considered for the TSG vintage paper collection, so we settled for some pix.
 
*the posted images were retouched to the best of our ability,
 but we were hampered by having to take photos
 of the cards in their protective sleeves.
"Totland Bay (Isle of Wight) -- The Needles -- LL."
"Shanklin. -- (Isle of Wight). General View. -- LL."

That Needles area reminds me much of some islands in the area of Thailand.

Wonder if there's much counterfeiting going on in the world of "old" photographs?
