A publisher of postcards depicting a wide variety of subjects in a wide variety of techniques. Most of their cards were published under the National Series name. Some scenes that were printed as black & white real photo postcards were also used to create hand colored collotypes. By the 1930’s many of their photo cards also began to be hand colored. In addition they published a series of line drawings by the artist Andrew Allan in the New Colour-Crayon Process. In their later years the company moved to London, England.
