2009/2010 Miscellaneous                Back to Index

 I show below a newly found artist drawn card for Whitby. It is definitely printed by Dennis , but the artist's style is different to ETWDs drawing style for the Whitby card,  ( illustrated elsewhere on this web). The size of the card is "old official" size, the same size as used on Dennis cards in 1894/95. Alan Kelly collection

 I show also a magnified section of the lower left, with very uncertain  initials

 

 

 

 

 

 Dennis published 12 cards of the IOM, in the larger , (not court) , size. Envelope shown above.(Alan Kelly collection). Details are as follows. v=vertical.

(Somebody on the Internet mistakenly ascribes the Port Erin and also Loch Promenade cards to a firm of ETW Dennis of ???Scunthorpe???. Dennis was always run from Scarborough and never Scunthorpe)

Random notes (In no order and of varying interest)

 

 A descendent of a printer who worked for Dennis says that his forbear worked for Dennis , printing in Leeds and not Scarborough , about 1920

   John Hinde bought the Dennis Print & Publishing business in 2000. They continued to publish some Dennis numbered cards up to the present (April 2010) under the explicit "Dennis Print & Publishing " logo.
