Sancha Prints for Tuck Up-to-Date

1915? Six prints offering the same illustrations as Tuck's "Up-to-Date" "Oilette" postcards by Tuck and Sons.  €70 from Albert van den Bosch, Antwerp, June, '23.

I was surprised to find these six images in other than postcard form.  As I describe a propos of the postcards, fables are used in this instance to satirize Germany.  The fable texts on the message side there appear in Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, or English on individual cards; words printed on the image side shift correspondingly.  There are no indications of a source for these, except perhaps that they appear to be in Spanish.  My, things get around!
