The "Popular Series" |
The publisher of "The Popular Series" is unknown. and it is possible that more than one publisher used the series name. However there are two reasons to look at cards in this series carefully. (More date information required.) When the London View Company closed in August 1907 "F S" had been producing about one card comic set a week and may well have other partly completed sets in progress. By 1908 four "F S" sets were being punlished and sold in the USA and at least three of these sets were being sold in the UK as part of "The Popular Series." By 1909 a distinctive series of unsigned comic cards appeared in which the backs was the same as cards published in "The Crown Series" by "F S" except from the added words "Printed in Gt. Britain" and the series name - so could these cards also be "F S" trying out a new style? |
