Marjorie C Bates Postcards List

Post by Reminiscene »

Does anybody know if there is a definitive list of sketches by Marjorie C Bates which were published as postcards? I know that she was a very prolific artist!

There is an article from the PPM of December 1984 which I think is still available from their offices. It gives a good comprehensive list of cards published by the British Art Company although I am afraid that it is very poor with regard to cards published by other companies. For example, it lists only 4 by W.A. Lewitt of Nottingham whereas I already have 12 in my small collection and I have 11 with the "Primus" Trade Mark against the 2 listed.

Thanks very much. I'll see if I can track down a copy of the 1984 PPM.

I have been slowly, over the past 10 years or more, been compiling a List of the 'landmark' scenes by Marjorie Bates. I am still finding new ones appearing - even from abroad. I would like to compare notes/lists with anybody as I am very interested in Marjorie C Bates as the very capable 'Artist' that she was. Has anyone a List of her 'Tudor Rose' commercial promotion Postcards?

I work with an elderly gentleman who is an avid fan and is also compiling a list so maybe we could compare lists. He has nearly all of the postcards and some prints in his collection but we keep finding more.

If you get this reply could you get in touch. Thanks

I don't know whether you are the same person with whom I have had correspondence but I am happy to compare Lists of this artist's work. I now have a List of something like 200 locations which Marjorie Bates illustrated. However, I am continuing to find new ones and also finding that they have either been done as Postcards and/or larger Prints. At the moment this is never-ending research.

Just looking through a small pile of Artist proofs (postcards) - inherited recently.

All are mounted

Two by Marjorie C Bates

Harlech Castle and Beaumaris Castle

Other artist proofs are by W Edwin Law - all of North Wales scenes - all signed on the mount.
