PICTORIAL POST CARDS (viewcards)

Welcome to another exciting aspect of Newfoundland collectibles — PICTURE POST CARDS.Privately printed postcards depicting Newfoundland scenes are an aspect of Newfoundlandia that has grownconsiderably in popularity. Part of their appeal is the nostalgia they inspire for life at the turn of the century,the late Victorian era when cards were introduced. Their heyday was during the Edwardian era which saw thatthe majority of cards were issued and sold.

An exhilarating passage through time is featured on these pictorial postcards from Newfoundland and Labrador.Since 1901, there have been over 4500 images of very picturesque scenes on postcards that portray diverse lifestyles, work and commerce, individuals, architecture, icebergs… and most importantly, panoramic views ofhundreds of communities. Together they encompass an encyclopedic pictorial survey of the heritage of theDominion of Newfoundland.

Picture postcards initially sold in Newfoundland were from the Water Street store of S.E. Garland.However, Ayre and Sons, Limited was Newfoundland's prolific vendor. From 1901 - 1949 they produced over1,000 different images on cards. The Newfoundland merchants had their cards made in Belgium, England,France, Germany, with art work or photographs supplied by the firm placing the order.

Most of the photographs that were used came from cameras of S.H. Parsons and Professor Holloway. Bothhad flourishing photographic studios in St. John’s. Approximately twenty other photographers helped providethe remaining views. Most picture postcards were issued and sold in the years 1904 - 1913, the heyday ofpicture postcards. During World War I and the 1930’s their numbers declined.

We have intentionally not priced picture postcards. Our belief is that prices are too variable. The perceivedvalued for a picture postcard depends on: presence of a specific stamp paying the postal rate, thematic topic beingportrayed, message, cancellations, mint or used state, and general overall condition. However, a selling range of$4 - $10 is often seen on mint cards made by Peco (they are modern era). Other producers generally retail$12 - $35 for mint cards. Postal rated cards often sell at 40% more.

We are grateful for the opportunity to have viewed three ‘hugeous’ collections formed by Willis Whalen, W. John Butt,Alison and Richard Moulton. Thank you. And thanks to the many collectors who spot those unlisted cards.

To the authors' knowledge this catalogue is the first to create such a listing of Newfoundland's pictorialpostcards or picture viewcards.

The Walsh Newfoundland Specialized Stamp Catalogue Numbers are the Arabic numerals preceding each listing in the Picture Post Card section. These numbers belong to Walsh Newfoundland Specialized Stamp Catalogue.

ADVERTISING BUSINESS COVERS & CORNER CARDS

Attractive or historically interesting business corner cards and advertising covers have been collected and studiedby postal history specialists for more than a century. Philatelists specializing in the postal history of the Colonyand later Dominion of Newfoundland have often supplemented their stamp collections with advertising coversand business corner cards of various types:

a) business name with or without return address in upper left cornerb) corner card with business name and address and product names and/or logo(s)c) advertising cover with illustrations front and/or back in black & white or in color.

Collecting advertising corner cards is a challenging hobby. The exact numbers, having names and addressesof pre-1949 Newfoundland businesses, are unknown, so the interested collector had to proceed without thebenefit of reliable published research. Some covers have very fine artistic and informative illustrations of theproduct(s) that the business sold. They provide a contemporary portrait of the styles, fashions, inventions andproducts that were noteworthy in their day. Similar to newspaper ads, they illustrate the considerable talent ofcommercial artists here and elsewhere. Many informational finds provided by Melvin Penney, Murray Smithand Jim ‘Hunter’ Ruffell.

Often times an outport or an inland town would have more than one business buying or selling the same products.However, not all businesses in that community would have printed stationery or even a rubber stamp. From 1857to 1949 there were scattered along a coastline of 10,900 miles and, as well, inland, nearly 1200 communities withpost offices. Many small communities without post offices also existed. If one could find a corner card or commercialcover from each of these locations it would be a mammoth collection to behold! A very formidable challenge facesthe collector since small businesses were often short-lived, especially during frequent recessions and depressions.

We have listed these advertising covers and corner cards to try and give an incentive to collectors to embark on theelusive search for commercial covers. To the authors’ knowledge this is the first catalogue to attempt such a listingwith at least 2900 presently being listed.

The Walsh Newfoundland Specialized Stamp Catalogue Numbers are the Arabic numerals preceding eachlisting in the Advertising Covers and Corner Cards section. These numbers are the property of theWalsh Newfoundland Specialized Stamp Catalogue.


Covers compliments of Terrance R. Harris and Fred C. Noseworthy.Front advertising only shown on top three rows. While all-over advertising shown on the bottom two rows.
