Additional Information
This card is part of Series No. 454 C. produced by the renowned London publisher C.W. Faulkner & Co. The specific layout of the back, featuring the distinctive ivy leaf decorative divider and the instructional text regarding messages for the "British Isles Only," helps date this piece to the early Golden Age of postcards, specifically between 1902 and 1910. C.W. Faulkner was highly regarded for their artistic standards, often reproducing fine art paintings to bring high-quality landscapes to the general public. The River Dart, which flows from Dartmoor to the sea at Dartmouth, has long been a favorite subject for artists due to its dramatic valley scenery and quiet riverbanks.
This vintage postcard would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
