Comments: |
The four cards above each have the printed " T.S. ", which defines them as being of Stevens manufacture.
At one time it was assumed the number printed on the card - 618 on these cards - defined the card design. However, as can be seen in the images above, these numbers are repeated on multiple different designs. The relevance of the number is hence unknown (unless perhaps it is a short hand for the artist/designer, rather than the design, for such as royalty payments). |
