"Series 309x" - probably some by "F S" |
These are variants of the common writing space card with a series number 3093-3099 added to the left hand reverse side margin, and in some cases the name of the publisher Vertigen. Earliest date so far recorded August 1913. One card relates to "The Typist" series drawn by "F W P" and published by Vertigen. I have been unable to identify this artist and the possibility of it being a pseudonym for "F S" when working for Vertigen cannot be ruled out.. While none are yet known with a direct signed "F S" connection, most appear to be in "F S" style and most appear with alternative backs and are almost certainly by him. See "Unsigned cards 1907-1916" |
