The Artotype series in the early 1900’s reproduced artist drawn illustrations. These were more brightly colored than their typical cards because they were produced through tricolor printing.

Valentine & Sons printed its first postcards in the 1890s. Valentine & Sons became a limited company in 1896. Canadian postcard production began in 1903. In 1907, at the height of the postcard revolution, they became a public company.
