This rings a bell... I grabbed some images of two large postcards many years ago and was not sure where they were from. They have to be from the various Specialty Group restaurants that included The Reef, Ports of Call, Pieces of Eight, etc. The A-frame in the second one is a dead ringer for the picture that Chris Berry posted. They were numbered and the back of the card had descriptions of each scene. It would be nice to see some better scans of these two beauties from the OA archives. DC
