Bert's collection of actress postcards - part 2


Two from Ralph Dunn & Co, 63 Barbican E.C. - Delia Mason and Zena Dare
One from Aristophot Co Ltd, London W.C. of Pinkie and the Fairies - Miss Elise Craven as "Queen of the Fairies"
Finally, a torn one from The Philco Publishing Co, ! Holborn Place, London W.C. It is signed, but only part of the signature is visible. This is the only card that has been sent through the post. It is addressed to Mr A.C. Mackie at 15 Plumstead Common Road. The word "Local" has also been added to the address.

Bert's collection of actress postcards - part 1



These are all by the Rotary Photographic Co and date from the early 1900s. They were obviously purchased as collectors' items as none have actually been through the mail, although one of them has Bert's name and address written on the back:
A.C. Mackie, 15 Plumstead Common Rd, Plumstead, Kent

From top to bottom and left to right we have Miss Winifred Hare, Miss Susie Vining, Miss Doris Lester, Ruth St. Denis "Hindu Radha" (not quite what it says on the card, but results ofGoogle searches suggest that the caption is incorrect), Miss Zena Dare and Miss Maud Allan "Medelssohn's Spring Song".
