Maxim Niven formed the  Klio Post Card Company Ltd at 118 City Road, London E.C., the Klio trade mark being registered in May of the same year. and he was probably responsible for the advert "WATER-Colour Designs and Photos Wanted. Must be really humorous. Also other originals suitable for post-card reproduction. Office 7, 118 City Road, London." (London Daily News, 30 November 1905). Bryatt reports in some detail and says that the company only existed for about a year, and was mainly involved in importing postcards. Niven acquired a number of trademarks and the "Janus" view cards were apparently moved to the London View Company (did Niven have some connection??)  In July 1907 he received a thousand preference shares in Blum & Degan for the assignment of a trade mark, and then was involved when the company collapsed in October 1908. He was simply described as a merchant in Newington in 1910.
