Do you think it was produced soon after 1904? From your experience, do you when coloured postcards were introduced? I was in Brighton not that long ago and this thread on memorials makes me want to go back again! Kind regards David

Thank you for your comments.
I personally think the coloured postcards have more character even thought they have a niave quality about them.
Not really sure when "colour" started but some of mine have early postmarks.
