Looking at the people in my grandfather's life in the early 1900's through his Edwardian post card collection.

Postcard to Mrs Povey from S Baldwin
I have not yet discovered the relationship between Jane Povey and S. Baldwin. As the cards she sent are post marked New Barnet she may be part of the Mould family.
The 1911 census records that an S. Baldwin was a housekeeper at the Middlesex County Asylum at Napsbury Park. John's son, also John was a hospital manager who moved from Exminster to Hertfordshire to undertake a similar role.
July 22nd 1905 was a Thursday. Harper's Weekly featured a cartoon about the problem of yellow fever during construction of the Panama Canal.
