<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 4287930, member: 33"]Thank you for tagging me. Unfortunately, I have not found much more than others have already noted here. I did find in the newspaperarchive database some ads in the <i>London Evening News </i>from 1913 and 1915. These were advertising Christmas cards for sale by the British Fine Art Association. It appears these ads were selling to distributors and stores, not to the general public. One ad refers to Private Christmas Card Sample Books. This British Fine Art Association was located in Manchester, and may have been a later iteration of the one who issued the picture. It's hard to tell.</p><p><br /></p><p>That's really all that I've found. I suppose one could try to find directories of merchants or businesses of the time, which might be able to help in determining the time frame the company was in business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
