EDINBURGH
POSTCARDS
80
Set of cards published by George Stewart & Co. of
Edinburgh, certainly some of the earliest,
and possibly the very first, picture postcards to be
published in the UK. In Picture Postcards
and their Publishers (Anthony Byatt, 1978) it says “...
when the postal regulations were
relaxed in September 1894, a set of views of
Edinburgh, printed by process blocks, was
quickly released. The views were very small and
placed in the top left hand corner of the
card.”
Each is a 120 x 74mm white card with monochrome
illustration on front, text on back (“POST
CARD/THE ADDRESS ONLY TO BE WRITTEN ON THIS SIDE” and “HALFPENNY/STAMP” within
interrupted box.
The
series of cards is as follows; {i} Edinburgh from the Forth
(light brown), {ii} a duplicate
of the same (mounted so as to show reverse), {iii}
Nelson's Monument (light brown), {iv}
same (light green), {v} Edinburgh from the Forth
(dull purple), {vi} St. Giles' Spire (light
green), {vii} Scott Monument and Castle
(purple-brown), and {viii} same (grey-violet).
Cards are in fine and fresh condition, particularly
fresh for their age, all are unused, and are
mounted with photo-corners on written-up pages. A
rare group, significant to Edinburgh
collectors and to collectors of postcard history; we
can remember seeing them displayed by
the collector who acquired them – probably 20 or 30
years ago, and have not seen any others
since. (8)
..
..
..
..
..
..
£200.+
81 Two
cards from George Stewart & Co.'s court size Edinburgh
series (published 1898),
both unused (one with bend), plus two coloured
vignette cards (c.1899-1900), and a
reasonable range of 45 cards of various parts of the
city inc. some scarcer. (49)
..
80.
Ü Following is a section of 51
lots. This represents the greatest part of a large and
important
collection
of Edinburgh cards which has been assembled over the last
twenty years with
much
searching, and admirable levels of determination and
spending. There are of course
standard
cards included, but very many are unusual, and there are
scarcer cards throughout.
Having
taken an interest in such material for many years, I can
say that there are many views
here
I have never seen before. Almost all cards are of the
“classic” period (c.1900-1920).
Duplication
is minimal.
As
a matter of interest, the collector kept a record of the
cost of the cards. Some may have
been
overpriced, and some may have been bargains, while others
were bought when prices
were
quite different from today's. The total cost is quoted at
the end of each description, but
will
not always be relevant.

views inc. court size, royal events,
