No Message from Edith
Another card from The Wrench Series. The hugely informative MetroPostcards.com have the following information on the company that produced these cards:
"Evelyn Wrench 1900-1906
London, England
Publisher of a great variety of picture postcards in varying techniques. They produced tricolor printed series on famous houses, sports players, literary characters from Dickens, scenes from plays, ships and trains, pictures from Punch magazine, art reproductions, comic cards, and greetings, all printed in England. They also published many views-cards in color, sepia, and a black & white series depicting resorts on a cream paper printed in Saxony. Wrench became a Limited company in 1902 and in 1904 they changed their name to Wrench Postcards Ltd. Because they refused to distribute any postcards but their own, supply eventually outgrew demand and they were out of business within two years. "
June 6th 1904 was a Monday. It was the date that James Joyce chose to use for his novel Ulysses.
