Back: "Number Only" POST CARD. San-serif with dot à [PC. I] 1913/4 |
|
[PC. I] POST CARD. with single vertical dividing line Stamp Box empty. Number bottom left.
It has been noted that a number of "F S" cards with this very simple back appeared in about 1913/4, together with other cards in the "F S" style - and many more by other artists. The idea of the following thumb collection is to try and map out the reference number ranges which might be "F S" related cards. |
|
| These cards
are virtually all unsigned - and appear to include different
artists, but some are definitely by "F S." In most cases
there appears to be only one card per number, with a few
sets of six consecutive cards. but in some places cards from
different sets seem to appear in random order.
Many of the cards have "Printed in Germany" on the left margin, and on some the number is followed by a "B" - in both cases cards are known with and without these additions. The cards I have located with this back are listed below - and are grouped to indicate their connection (if any) with "F S." The earliest so far was posted in August 1912 |
|
| Key to "F S" involvement | |
| Background Green | Card is either signed "F S" or is a reprint of a card known to be by "F S" - including those listed in the Picture Post Card Magazine as being by "F S." There will be a relevant link to the set. |
| Background Yellow | Card can be linked to unsigned Crown Publishing cards, or are listed on the "Kilts" page - also cards by "Dauber" - So are also considered to be by "F S" |
| Background Pink | Cards in the "F S" style, including unsigned Vertigen cards, which I consider should be deemed to be by "F S" |
| Background Grey | Card (or obvious set) can be related to a earlier but relevant back. There will be a link to further information. |
| Background White | No significant information on the artist or the post card history. In some cases the card may be by "F S." |
