'F. S.' Catalogue

Pictures

Artist: F. S.

Searching for American post cards by "F. S." is complicated by the fact that many are not signed (though the UK version is), there is a lack of publisher names, and when I find a used card the date stamp often does not include the year. Nearly all the cards listed below were located by searching for series phrases such as "Who said Liar."  All cards are cross-referenced in the appropriate UK set - although the cards may have been published in the USA first.

  

Please Tell Me of any gaps in this catalogue, preferably with suitable images and details of the post card backs.

Because of the size of the United States the different backs may represent different publishers in different parts of the country, with the same image being used in various places. I have therefore recorded the State where posted if known.

In a number of cases wording on the picture has been changed ("Caretaker" to "Janitor") and there are minor colour changes due to variations in Printing,
