I received updates from Jean Cullen and Tony Longshaw regarding my post of the postcard 3444 - The Victory Portsmouth. Both Jean and Tony are long time members of the Salmon Study Group and life long postcard collectors. Thanks Jean and Tony for your help.
The 3444 postcard was not ARQ as I thought but was in fact by the artist John H. Fry.
Tony also wrote that Fry had two other cards in the Watercolour Series, they were 3443 and 3885.
I will update my database accordingly and add Fry as a Salmon artist to my list of artists.
Incidently, if anyone has a scan of these last two cards (3443 & 3885) that they can send me I would be most grateful. At times when looking at postcards for sale, often the seller does not mention the number on the back of the card nor the artist. In some cases they do not even mension that the card is even published by Salmon.
So it's nice to have an image of what the card looks like so that you can at least recognise it if you see it.
[On a future post, I will talk about the Salmon Study Group SSG (of which I am a member also) and would encourage anyone interested in collecting Salmon postcards to join that group. You can contact me for details if you want that information now and I will put you in touch with Tony Longshaw.]
