From Edith saying she and her husband Percy King would be visiting the following day. 24th February 1906 was a Saturday and the post mark showing that it was franked by the GPO at 11.45 am at Lewes. On the front there is a second post mark showing that the card was in Brighton at 1.45 pm on the same day and no doubt delivered that afternoon.
The picture of HMS Victory in Portsmouth harbour is a reminder that for more that a century after the Battle of Trafalgar the warship although not on active service, was still afloat. The ship was dry-docked in 1922.
February 24th 1906 was a Saturday. The Spectator published an article on the Algeciras Conference and there was a strong earthquake in Tokio Bay.
