Early 1900s RP Query
Posted: Fri Apr 05, 2013 1:06 am
Hello,
I run a very successful local history page for the town I live in and through it I am looking to sell a magazine in the near future. In the magazine I want to feature some postcards I own which date from 1900 - 1920. they are mainly obscure street scenes from local areas. They are RPs. Some have publishers names and others have nothing. One of the publishers is Bell's Photo Co of Leigh On Sea Essex. Assuming the 70 year rule applies to these, do I need to be concerned about publishing them commercially? Also, if a publisher is not stated what do I do? Last question. I notice lots of old post cards have some kind of number on them. What is this?
Hope someone can help, but of a newbie here.
Thanks so much.
David.
