A.W. Gamage - GAN-1 Sporting Cartoon Postcards


1903

GAN-1  Sporting Cartoon Postcards
A.W. Gamage
16 known (6 football)

Four of these postcards were recently shown in the Football Postcard Collectors Club Journal (No. 97 - May 2014). Postcard sets in the Edwardian era normally consisted of 6 cards, so that would mean there is one postcard missing from the list. I've also listed similar cards for other sports.
UPDATE (01-07-2025 22:25):  Michael Hauskeller has provided the title of the missing football postcard. He also advises that the artist is Alick P.F. Ritchie.
