EXHIBITION STUDY GROUP

Parsley Salmon also published a series of advert cards with a single title 'London', these either have a figure to be seen in London and three London views, or a composite of eight London views. They all have a white area in which is embossed 'Parsley Brand Salmon' in red. On the back is an overprint in red in five lines reading 'Franco-British Exhibition / 1908. / Diploma of Honour. / Highest Award / For Salmon. This is over advertising matter which covers half the card. I would appear these cards were sent to their customers advising them of the award at the Exhibition.

Pictograph Publishing Co.
It cannot be said that this series of cards are exhibition cards. They are reproductions of paintings by Ella du Cane, and five of the six were published by Tuck's for the Japan-British Exhibition, and it is for this reason they are included. Strangely du Cane is given no credit on the cards as being the artist, although on some her signature can be seen.
