Whats on the front ?

Londonbus...Michael..no matter what you do, its still an ugly freaking postcard


Oh...wait a minute..that's Phil's baby picture...How nice

Anyone care to analyze that postcard a little bit? Who was the manufacturer? First of all we need to see the card in the proper orientation and a bit larger, so here it goes:



I can see what appears to be a small heart in the LL corner with the what appears to be the letters "L&S" or "L+S" or "LAS" within it. Does that identify the maker? Is there any information on the reverse side of the card that would identify the maker?

Curious minds would be interested to know.

[edit]

Upon closer observation of the enlarged image, the identifer seems to be the initials "EAS" within a heart. This resulted in the following information on the postcard maker:

I have a number of these as well.

Here are a few from my collection.

Very pretty postcard.

Ach they are so critical..like children..i only mean the best for them..heres the back !!

Wow, that IS an unusual card! Front is printed sideways, the back is inverted. And why were all these cards printed in Germany?

Peter

Most of the high quality pre WW1 postcards were printed in Germany. After WW1, they were no longer printed over there and the quality dropped down considerably.

This is a blow up of Schwerdtfegers logo



I think the backs may vary, but on this one the logo is also on the header bar. This is a card printed on magenta paper. The back has red printing. The center divider says "This is a real photograph." The printing on the left edge says "Published by E. A. Schwerdtfeger & Co., London E. C. printed at their works in Berlin."

All the EAS PCs on this site have EAS logos on the reverse
