About Series : Pictorial Postcard Co.

The Pictorial Postcard Co. appears to have been a wholesale arm of the Selwyn Cox business. The name Selwyn Cox does not appear on the cards, but his logo of SC in a diamond does appear. Newspaper advertisements appeared in 1910 and 1911 offering wholesale cards, with a grand closing sale in 1911 (eg Daily Telegraph (Launceston) 26 January, 1911 p.8.)
