J. Salmon, Sevenoaks, England - A. R. Quinton Series
Watercolour artist Alfred Robert Quinton (1853–1934) was 57 years of age when postcard publisher Joseph Salmon spotted some of his paintings in a London art gallery. Salmon persuaded Alfred to let him print a 1912 calendar featuring Quintons English village views. The calendar was a success and, over the next 22 years, Quinton went on to produce more than 2000 watercolours featuring the towns, villages and resorts of England and Wales which Salmon published as postcards.
Alfred Robert Quinton is ranked the most popular British artist in this country's postcard hobby.
Currently I have managed to locate 10 cards in this series, seven are shown below.
