Dealer Notes
This souvenir of London was printed by Edward Thomas West Dennis, better known as a manufacturer of postcards. Based in Scarborough initially, and then moving to London, Dennis used a change in Post Office regulations to produce the first privately printed postcards, starting in 1894. He died in 1923, but the business, continued by his sons, was in existence until 2000.
