UK MAP POSTCARDS BY DESIGN
Salmon Variants
|
The
Salmon postcards, like a lot of other publisher's postcards, came with
colour variations over the years due to having several print-runs. In
addition to this fact, quite a few of the Salmon cards had physical
differences, too many to cover in their entirety, so this gallery only
reflects what I can highlight from cards in my own collection.
In the smaller size original series, the North Norfolk map postcard had two versions, one with more place-names than the earlier one... |

The
card on the right has Heacham, Overy Staithe, Salthouse and Overstrand
indicated.

The
first version of Cornwall (where Cornwall was aligned sideways) had
an uncoloured title banner and a coloured title banner version...
|
|
The
card on the right has colour in the title banner.

The
most prevalent variations occur amongst the third series continental
size (un-bordered) postcards where a physical feature would be missing
from the final print runs, known amongst collectors as the 'boat/no
boat variants' (though it's not always missing boats)...
