About Series : 6. "Greetings From" Series

These “Greetings From” cards have a back design identical to the “5. Green Back 1907 Series”. 

 

Series Contents: There seems to be a small number of cards with greetings from Hobart and Launceston.

 

Date Published:  The earliest postmark date I have seen is 6 Sept 1907.

 

Printing: These were printed by multicolour photolithography with a back collotype layer superimposed. This is different to Valentine Series 1 to Series 5 cards with have the top black layer done by halftone.

 

Identification: There is no specific identification of Valentines as the publisher. They are attributed to Valentine because the back layout is the same as the Green Back 1907 Series, and because the images (or at least some of them) are from the Valentine 48,000 and 53,000 negatives.
