Postcards by Edmund Blampied
Only two postcards have been found, both of which are shown below. If you know of any other postcards designed by Blampied, please let me know.
Postcard
Date: 1914?
Card size: 142 x 92 mm
Signed: Blampied
Publisher: Ward & Robertson, Colour Printers, 103A Park St., Camden Town, London NW
Notes: This card may have been produced to advertise the printing company, rather than as a commercial post card. It is printed on thicker card than normal postcards. The price for a stamp was ½ d Inland and 1 d Foreign.

Postcard
Date: 1915?
Card size: 135 x 87 mm
Signed: not signed
Publisher: not stated
Notes: This design first appeared in colours in the Christmas issue of the The Graphic published in November 1914. It is not signed in the image but is credited in the magazine to BLOMPIED
. The illustration in the magazine does not show a zeppelin through the window, so this card probably shows the orginal design by Blampied. The zeppelin was perhaps removed because it was too fearful for a Christmas magazine during war time.

Postcard

Card size: 108 x 153 mm
Signed: Blampied
Publisher: [Edmund Blampied]
Notes: This post card was sent to a friend in Jersey during a short visit to Guernsey in October 1958. It is addressed and stamped on the other side. Blampied wrote: Our flight across was O.K. The hotel is O.K. and so is the view from our bedroom.
