EYRE & SPOTTISWOODE LTD. The King’s printers, of Fetter Lane, London, E.C., were publishing postcards by about 1902. The name Woodbury series became associated with most of them because Eyre and Spottiswoode had taken over the ‘Woodbury Permanent Photographic Company’ which included a special method of photographic reproduction known as the ‘Woodburytype’ process. The largest number of cards were sepia (later color) reproductions of famous pictures, both classical and modern, drawn from the famous galleries of the world, as well as many of the smaller galleries. A series of more than fifty warships included some from foreign navies, and there are cards of yachting scenes, seascapes and rough seas. View cards were also issued, and a set of six water-colors of Guernsey by Frank Dean. A lecture on postcards was written for Eyre & Spottiswoode in 1906 and was used for a ‘Woodbury Lantern Lecture,’ but efforts to find this lecture have not so far proved successful. Many records were lost during the Second World War.
