Unknown issuer/artist - Joe Clennel (Cardiff City)


1920s
Joe Clennel (Cardiff City)
Unknown issuer/artist
1 postcard

 Following on from yesterdays postcard of Tommy Watson, here's one from my collection: Cardiff City's Joe Clennel. It's an original piece of artwork signed by the person who drew it. I have not insight as to who the artist is, but his initials seem to be C.B. Just in case someone recognizes the signature I've added a larger image of it.

Unknown issuer - Thomas Watson (Cardiff City)


1927
Thomas Watson (Cardiff City)
Unknown issuer
1 postcard

 Bob Thomas has sent in a scan of this postcard showing a caricature of Cardiff City's Tommy Watson. It is very similar to the 'Mac' caricature in the John Player & Sons series of cigarette cards, but it has another signature, which I'm unsure of. Bob doesn't know anything about the card and hoped that I could shed some light on it, but I don't know anything either. I've included a scan of the cigarette card too. Does anyone recognize the artist?
