Three cards - all with
identical backs apart from the publisher
information, all posted from Brighton to
three different addresses on the same day in
1908 by someone signing themselves "S W"
|
|
|
The
London View Company printed a series of coloured
views of Brighton - and the earliest dates suggest the
series was put on the market in July 1905. A number of
the cards were reprinted in 1906/7 after it had become
the
London View Company Limited, and it seems that the
unnumbered cards also date from this later period.
A general article Beside the
Seaside in Edwardian Brighton by Mike Green &
Rendel Williams was published in PPCM May 2012. It
includes two "F S" cards. |

The following cards, by "F S," were
almost certainly produced by the
London View Company Limited for the summer of 1906,
although dated examples are not known. They could be
among the earliest "F S" cards known. Some carried the
words "Printed by
the London View Co. Ltd. for
F. G. Harwood & Co.,
Brighton ."
Similar sets were produced for
Hastings and Southend on Sea. |

|
In 1907 it seems that the
London View Company Limited published view post
cards with pictures which had actually been take by
Valentine.

In 1908
F. G. Harwood
started to publish view cards of the Brighton area as
the "Centurion Series" -
presumably to replace the ones produced by the
London View Company Limited, which was wound up in
August 1907. |

Very
similar glazed cards were published by
Bernard Watkins
(who also had contact with the
London
View Co.) so may have had similar
origins, although these were printed in
Britain, while the Watkins cards were
printed in Germany. |

|
F. G Harwood
established the Brighton
View Company at some time during the relevant
period. It is not certain whether it co-existed
alongside the
London View Company Ltd, or was created then the
London company closed down. The possibility that he was
a director of both cannot be ruled out. |
