Publisher's logos on old postcards

Search the Logos Search the Publishers Information, references See all images on site

This site is to help identify the publisher from the logo, for European postcards dating before 1939, concentrating on publishers which were not exclusively producing topographic postcards (views). For each publisher example cards are shown, normally both sides scanned at 300 dpi. Logos of publishers not yet identified are also shown, I'm afraid there are a lot of these. This site requites javascript.

 The site was created to be an aid in identifying publishers, but the collector's instinct has led to me adding cards even when they show the full name. There are some inconsistencies: Names are in alphabetic order but sometimes using the leading initial and sometimes the surname. With monograms it is pot luck. Places names can be the English or original version.

Thanks are due to the various online sources of information, as credited, and to Jean Ritsema for large contributions of images and sources of information. Comments and corrections welcome at schofielddavidnugget@gmail.com - this is a changed address from previous.
